I have been thinking about this and the various follow up comments noting that Norton really hasn't received an answer to his question on how to trigger his seedling bulbs into regrowth after their summer dormancy and when he should start watering them. As they are endemic to the unique lomas ecosystem of Peru in which it almost never rains, it certainly wouldn't be late summer storms/showers that trigger the break of dormancy in many South African members of the Amaryllidaceae family (that I have some familiarity with), although summer drought breaking rain is clearly not the only trigger for many such species, as flowering spikes will often appear at the "end of summer" without rain. Notwithstanding the fact that it rarely rains in the Amancaes habitat, I am guessing that the frequency and intensity of the coastal fogs, so typical of the lomas, increases during the cooling months of the year - autumn through winter. Certainly, almost every picture I have seen of this species in flower in its natural habitat suggests damp, misty conditions prevail. So, in answer to his question, perhaps it is a matter of just replicating nature by increasing the humidity and watering ever so lightly (misting?) at the same time of the year that the fogs start rolling in off the Pacific ocean. One thing that does intrigue me about the cycle of this species though is that it is reported that in its natural habitat it sends up its flower spike and flower before the leaves appear yet every habitat photo I have seen (including Norton's 2 misty shots posted on the PBS wiki) show the plants in peak flowering whilst in full leaf. Perhaps you could elaborate on this Norton? Bruce Schroder Melbourne, Australia
