I know the grower that Schmuel is referring to. He grows the bulbs for cut flowers in Murietta California which is extremely hot and dry, almost desert. No water. No fertilizer. Just plant and cut or dig. I have written about them many times. I also have grown these bulbs for many years and find they bloom in full sun but not shade.

They do grow, but I am guessing not as well as in full sun. I certainly have trouble getting them to bloom. Mine have never gotten etiolated (I don't know if that happens with bulb foliage, it does with cactus and succulents, if grown in light that is too low). Their blue-white waxy bloom may be an adaptation to full sun. > _______________________________________________ > pbs mailing list > pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net > http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… > Unsubscribe: <mailto:pbs-unsubscribe@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… Unsubscribe: <mailto:pbs-unsubscribe@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net>
