The devious calculus of plant acquisition

Jim, I of course in mild climate Auckland, have them surviving just fine
in the garden. Almost all go into the leafless bare corm state. They
are in a place where they get little sun, and are open to what rain we
get, and we get quite a bit. So with the lack of sun, and the
occasional rain, they would not dry out completely. Which is probably a
state which needs to be duplicated in the cold frame.

They come away and make a marvellous show every winter. And yes, some
corms don't survive but the seedlings make up for it.

In my opinion they are well worth the nurturing - I just have not figured out what to do when
