fall planting and storage

To second Michael's question, I'm also very curious as to whether you plant
the bulbs right-side up, or whether they are simply scattered and they
right themselves. In my limited experience, it seems that Brodiaea and kin
don't mind too much which way they are planted... they still send out roots
and shoots and figure themselves out. What about Camas, Fritillaria, and
some of these others?

I'm the naive one here, am still on learning curve as I ramp up
production. However these bulbs will be lifted for sale next year. They do
seem to be happy in crowded beds. I past we made dense beds of bulbils and
left them for 2-3 years. With Camas also dense plantings work great
although sometime the bulbs are deformed. Keep in mind these rows are
separated by 6 inches of clean space and roots do have a [lace to go.
Different conditions in a pot.

planting those Dichelostemma. With all the offsetting they do, don't you
need to keep more space between them? (I'm thinking maybe I space mine
too
far apart in the pots).
