scilla maderensis vs pot

Definitely over analysing. All the same batch from the same field and grower. Once into their regular cycle they should flower relaibly every year. Any bulb which is harvested and then cleaned and dried for shipping,cooled then kept in a stock can become confused about when it should flower. In the spring turn off the water and allow to become naturally dormant. When it is started back into life again in the fall by water and lower night temperatures it will spout quickly and flower in 4-6 weeks.

My three bulbs also started growing at different times and bloomed several
weeks apart. I think someone else reported the same thing. The consistency
makes me wonder if they have three batches of bulbs and send one of each.
Or perhaps I am over-analyzing a coincidence.

We all seem to have glommed on to the offer from Easy to Grow Bulbs! I
planted all three at the same time, two in one pot and one solo. Nothing
happened for a very long time and finally one of the bulbs sharing a pot
started to make roots and then send up a stem. Shortly thereafter, the
solo bulb did the same. It was a few weeks later before the third bulb
started to send up growth. All bloomed nicely, but on their own
schedules. I'm hoping they won't be one-shot wonders. They haven't gone
dormant yet.
