Drimia maritima

Thanks for all the comments.

It doesn’t sound like anyone in my sort of cllimate has had success blooming them, but I like Pamela Slate’s comments best and they match my ‘less is more’ approach to gardening.

I did remove the bell jar covering. It is plenty hot out already. It seems my single bulb is in synchrony with its withered foliage.

I’ll keep excessive rain off it (we do have summer storms, but otherwise full sun and no watering will suffice.) I’ll keep that bell jar cover handy for th storms ONLY.

and I’ll report back in fall if there’s any flowering stem. I am not optimistic, but maybe Jim McK will have succerss removing the bulb from soil and storing dry. Mine will stay in its pot.

Agaian thanks to all the comments. Jim W.
