On the subject of lachenalias, sadly I lost most of my original collection, except for a few, before they bloomed. I have a new collection started, but I do have a few that I have had for several years. One that has never bloomed for me is L. montana, which I have had for six years. This year it put out the most robust growth I have ever seen from it, though the leaves were narrower, and always have been, from what is pictured in the PBS Wiki. I had repotted the bulbs last autumn after two years of paltry winter growth and the half dozen or so small central bulbs all had numerous new bulblets completely circling their bases. Based on the growth this year I am assuming they all grew on very well. Does anyone have any experience with bringing this species to flower? It does seem to have multiplied well, even when it seemed to be diminishing based on the growth in the winter of 2009-10 and 2010-11. Randy Central Monterey Bay Area, California Zone 9
