Dear Jim, I have a small "field" of D. maritima, probably about 20 now, all planted for many years outdoors in the shade. They aren't protected from summer monsoon rains, tolerate temperatures of 110+ and offset regularly. They flower toward the end of summer, usually August, but not all flower each year. Foliage was still lush at the end of April, dried up completely by mid-May and will return with cooler fall temperatures. My bulbs are planted with the tops exposed an inch or two. On the Mystery Bulb page, there are three photos of flowers in Marrakech that Robert Hoel submitted. I have often thought these are D. maritima and in the background of the third photo there are others. In your climate, Jim, I think I'd be more concerned about too much water/humidity than heat. Two summers ago we had 11 inches of rain from July through September without ill effect to the bulbs although some summers we get as little as two inches. Ours is what I would call good desert dirt compared to other locations - excellent drainage, small gravel and no clay. Over the years, we had many tons of loamy sand hauled in to build gardens, a bit of it there. The point is you might pot it in a similar mix in a very large pot, perhaps one of the nice resin ones Lowe's carries. I'd remove the glass dome Oddly enough - and it's a first - a small D. maritima is shooting up an inflorescence reminiscent of Ledebouria socialis in bud. It's occurring in one of the smaller bulbs. A nice surprise, probably triggered by the current high temperature extremes. Hope this helps, Pamela Slate
