When to plant
Elaine Jek (Tue, 10 Jul 2012 14:28:33 PDT)

Okay, please excuse the really embarrassing rookie question:

When you get the winter growing bulbs from Dell (and after the excitement of getting exactly what you wanted:-)  ), do you, generally speaking

A) pot them up in a good draining medium and give them a tiny bit of water so that they don't dry out till Fall
or
B) keep them in a cool, dry, dark place till the first rains of Fall and there is a temperature drop before potting the bulbs.

I have bulbs like Oxalis, Rhodophiala, Drimiopsis.

From the responses, I'll pot up the Narcissus 'Nylon' and I'll do the same for the Gladiolus.

Many thanks,
-Elaine.

I am in Auckland, New Zealand and am growing Bulbodium Nylon without any
problems.  It has flowered at the beginning of winter, and now is in bud
again.  I don't do refrigeration of bulbs, so yours should be fine. 
This is zone 10a, so presumably about the same as yours, Elaine.
