I've set to work about a month early on repotting the bulbs that I grow in pots (about half the collection). I've grown a number of Tulipa species from seed over the past 8 or 9 years. I find that some produce numerous small bulbs on stolons, typically in a mass of dried root and stolon tissue around the bottom of the pot. Some of these species have never flowered, so apparently they're using all their energy increasing vegetatively -- not what I would like! Does anyone with broad experience growing tulips have advice on how to encourage the plants to mature to flowering rather than (apparently) trying to escape their pots? The species in question are described in Diana Everett's book "The Genus Tulipa" as being "strongly stoloniferous," so their behavior is not really anomalous. And yes, I'm sending plenty of the offsets to the BX.
