Eucomis

[Joyce Miller]

Dear All,
    In the window of an office at the Berry Botanic Garden is a Eucomis 
scape that bloomed in 2008.  It is set in a glass of water.  The 
inflorescence is dessicated but it has now developed a growth that looks 
like a flower but is not a Eucomis flower.  Is this a bulbil?  The plan is 
to remove the small growth with a razor and try to root it in the greenhouse 
with bottom heat.

    Any comments, questions?

    Best wishes, Joyce Miller, rainy, snowy, windy Gresham, Oregon USDA 8.
