Romain There is some good information on this species' performance in the wild in the PBS wiki. Translating this to cultivated plants would suggest a different performance. In my limited experience I would suggest A tinneana is a spring/summer growing species. I say this because I have purchased seed a number of times from a grower in Zambia (where they are indigenous) in late summer after flowering there in the early/mid part of summer. My young bulbs seem to have settled into a cycle that commences new seasons growth after a winter dormancy. That said, Ammocharis sp in general here in Australia (esp A coranica) don't seem to have a regular cycle and sometimes need to be forced to do so by keeping them dry over winter. I welcome other comments on the matter.
