Alberto, Mary Sue, Alberto, my plants fits this description exactly. It is just producing many flower stalks now. The bulbs are sitting way out of the ground and have increased in size immensely. Although unusual, they are extremely untidy plants and I considered pulling it out not so long ago, until I saw the flower shoots coming again. Anyway, where would I put this huge thing? I would probably shave to split it into 3 and then replant it somewhere or toss it in the bin. Couldn't really do that as it took so long to get it to grow originally. Anyway, the flowers are a real talking point here - maybe I will get some seed this year, as it didn't;t produce any last season. regards, Bill Richardson Gippsland Australia 0-21 Lovely days of Spring.
