With such an early warm spring here this year my Sarracenia flava flowered a month ago growing frost free, maybe a mopnth earlier than usual. > My Pinguiculas have been blooming like crazy for months now, but since > those aren't geophytes, I won't even mention them. Pinguicula grandiflora dies back in the winter to a rootless resting bud, which I reckon counts as a "bulb". It even has miniscule offsets that I propagate from, although the dust like seed produces dozens of new plants too. Flowering has just finished for me. If only I could get some P. alpina going. Seedex seed has never worked. I over-wintered Heliamphora nutans this year with 7C minimum. I was told it required 14C min. when I bought it and just took the chance. seems fine.
