Around my house, El Perelló, Southern Catalonia, Spain , zone 9,maybe 2 hundred Drimia ou Urginea maritima begin to spike too, some are already flowering, we had a storm two days ago. It is probably one of the best bulbs for very dry place. Here they do well in full sunshine, top of the bulb at ground level. They look nicer in groups of 5 or 7 for example. They also have nice green and glossy leaves during the winter. 50 Lapiedra martinezii are also blooming now . I can send pictures if someone is interested.

They always manage to stagger flowering, so only one flowers each year. I keep the large pots in my carport over the summer, exposed to the heat but not the sun nor rain. In winter I bring them out into full sun and keep them moist. Leo Martin Phoenix Arizona USA Zone 9?
