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. ________________________________ From: Ina <klazina@orcon.net.nz> To: Pacific Bulb Society <pbs@lists.ibiblio.org> Sent: Sunday, July 8, 2012 4:34 AM Subject: Re: [pbs] Do Narcissus 'Nylon' need chilling? 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.
