Thanks for the information Jim. Here in hot, dry, and very windy central Texas your bulbs have all emerged. Surviving the winter in the garden are: These bulbs have survived one winter, but have yet to bloom. A. C. lineare B. C. graminicola C. C. macowanii C. variable seedlings have completed two years in the garden. While they are winter growing variety, they are growing and appear healthy. There is quite a variation in size of the bulbs. C. lugardiae, 2005 seedlings that have not yet bloomed. Loss of bulbs here in my soil seems to be caused by rot, probably from planting bulbs too deep in the ground.
