Well, Jim and others, It bloomed last year,. but... I am getting so much
astonishment here, I am now wondering if my memory is off on this matter.
Check back with me later and I will be able to confirm. At this point, I
am
doubting myself again.

pot,
in the ground-- sticky clayey loam at about 20" from the foundation of
the
house.
Dear Adam -
I am shocked to hear this. I bring mine (in pots) indoors
before the first frost and they stay there-bone dry until they show
'signs' in spring, then repotting and lots of water.
Some sacrificial bulbs go out this fall.!
Does it actually bloom outdoors?
