Thank you Jim. Yet again I learn that every bulb has a mind of its own, but you all know, when you grow a new beauty, you are worried if you do everything right. That is why I asked in the first place. 

I think Jane wrote in another thread these days, about how certain Rhodophialas do better in alternating dry vs wet winter patterns. Very interesting learning!

Most of these tips come from growers like PBS members, in books usually is given superficial advice. So I learn that PBS means not just a good database or BX/ SX Exchange, but also people who actually DO grow various plants.

Thank you everyone,
Vlad

Its dormancy here is about like that of B. josephinae, kind of short.  It is kind of hard to define what summer is here since our warmest period tends to be in the late August to mid October.  That's when my Adeniums are in full flower due to the heat. On the other hand my Brunsvigia bosmaniae have yet to emerge.
