I tried it once. The big pot looked nice only for the early flowers, because after that, some flowers were dying while others were just starting to flower. I think it is better to have just one kind of bulb in a smaller pot, then perhaps put the collection of small pots inside a very big one. When one pot has finished flowering, move the pot out of sight, but where the leaves can still photosynthesize. -- Diane Whitehead Victoria, British Columbia, Canada maritime zone 8 cool mediterranean climate (dry summer, rainy winter - 68 cm annually) sandy soil
