Dear Patrick, We have discussed Scilla peruviana in the past a number of times as people have written with the same question that you have. It has a reputation for skipping seasons of bloom. This has been true in my garden, but apparently is not true for everyone. I think in one spot of my garden it just got too shady. Some people have suggested that it needs a dry period in summer to do well. It gets that in my garden but still does not bloom every year. Here was another suggestion from the past: http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbslist/old.php/… By the way for all those of you who are new to our list and for those of you who have forgotten the formula for searching the archives in Google is found on the Pacific Bulb Society web site. It is: +[pbs] [search terms] site:///lists.ibiblio.org Google indexes all the posts from ibiblio lists. Unfortunately you can't search from the archives for them, but you can search from Google. In the Google box put in the formula above and substitute whatever you want to find for "search terms". You may get previous and next posts in the list of messages you get, but you will also get the most relevant posts. In this case you would put the following in the google search box if you wanted to find previous posts about Scilla peruviana: +[pbs] [Scilla peruviana] site:///lists.ibiblio.org Mary Sue
