Mine aren't up at all yet. The bed didn't get as much water this year as
in past years. Maybe they won't bloom this year.
Well. One came up Saturday, two days after I wrote the above. Bulbs will
do that to you. Flowers soon.
I also found Strumaria discifera in bud in a storage box. Time to pull out
the stored bulbs in boxes, and plant the amaryllid seeds sleeping in the
refrigerator since spring. I was waiting until after our current heat wave
is over (106 F / 41C as I write) but the bulbs jumped the gun. At least
nights are beginning to cool.
