I've really been enjoying learning about the lomas and seeing all these
great photos and info getting added to the wiki. Thanks Norton for all the
work you've been doing! I hope your conservation efforts are very
successful.

My limited experience of amanacaes is that it grows from mid/ late Summer
until mid Winter, grown indoors/ under cover in the northern Hemisphere. I
would not give such bulbs much water to wake them up, rather a little
humidity and wait for them to grow enough leaf to use water, before wetting
the soil.

Endemic to Peru, they act as indicators of the beginning of winter, since
they are the first plant to flower between June and July, they also are
indicators, of ENSO ( El Niño South Oscillation) by flowering less than
normally. I have germinated 29 out of 31 seeds. The seeds are green
photosynthetic, they germinate as soon as they fall on the ground, so I
dont think its the kind of seed you can save for a long time in

comparison

to other plantas of "lomas" ecosystem. I hope I can have positive results
giving the bulbs their first cycle in May. Any advice of how to

reactivate

them?
