Hi Tsuh, Thank you for the info and I find it quite ironic that I'm originally from Argentina too :-))))) I'm very surprised that it survives the cooler climates but I don't want to risk putting it in my garden in the Boston area for fear of losing it.

This is my second season with it and because I live in the cold Northeast I have no choice but to grow it in a pot and store it dry in the basement for the winter. I can attest to its slightly "thuggish" but welcome nature as mine has wonderfully overgrown its pot. I plan on dividing it in the spring of next year and if there's anyone who would like some, I'll send some tubers to the BX. > > Warm Regards, > Fred > > -----Original Message----- > From: pbs On Behalf Of Nicholas Plummer via pbs > Sent: Thursday, October 7, 2021 5:01 PM > To: Pacific Bulb Society > Cc: Nicholas Plummer > Subject: Re: [pbs] Autumnal bulbs in other regions > > In my previous email, I forgot one very beautiful plant that is sorta kinda bulb-like. Seemannia nematanthodes is slowly taking over my flowerbeds and is flowering now. It overwinters as little compressed rhizome segments that look remarkably like maggots. > > Nick _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… Unsubscribe: Scanned by McAfee and confirmed virus-free.
