Getting Rain Lilies to Bloom

Also note that Charles grows his rain lilies in the university greenhouse
-- heated in winter and cooled in summer. If we can figure out when the
dry season occurs in nature for a given species, that is when those rain
lilies should benefit most from a rest period.
Best wishes,

Kathleen, summer drying for those that are dormant in summer. The many
Mexicans would rot if exposed to wet ground/mix in winter.
