It seems fewer florets this year than last. Also, 2 of its sibling bulbs which bloomed for the first time last year seem to be sitting 2009 out. We've had a very dry year and I've provided no additional H2O. A 4th sibling bulb is sending up its first scape this year. Several other siblings have yet to bloom. http://www.flickr.com/photos/amarguy/3917385121/ Ken San Diego, zone 10-11 __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4422 (20090913) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com/
