Did anybody else buy those yellow or pink Polianthes that are new to the
market? I bought some from Brent & Becky's Bulbs but they didn't bloom
this season. I remembered to dig them up today before the sun went
down, to bring them inside for winter. Lo & behold one of them had a
bloom stem about 12 inches high. Everything above ground had been
killed by the freezing weather we've had an night... but there was
definitely a bloom stalk that would have flowered if the temps had
stayed warm enough. But maybe even more exciting is all the new bulbs
they created... I planted three big bulbs in spring, and six months
later I've dug up 3 big bulbs with a multitude of smaller bulbs all the
way around each one. Next year should be glorious! :-)
