I wonder if your bulbs are properly named. The one time I flowered A. trichophylla, I was struck by the shape of the flower; in profile, like a ballerina's tutu in Swan Lake. That is, spreading and curved, near hemispherical. A. autumnale has a conical flower, more or less. -- Rodger Whitlock Victoria, British Columbia, Canada Maritime Zone 8, a cool Mediterranean climate on beautiful Vancouver Island http://maps.google.ca/maps/…
