I too have several bulbs from Betty Doutt, my white with pink tips have been in bloom now for a week, the raspberry ones, which are my favorite have not made an entrance yet, my hot pink with white tips is just starting to bud. All of the bulbs and seed I got from Betty are doing really well, the bulbs are multipling and the seed are growing, thanks Betty.

It's pretty spectacular and I thank Betty for sharing in with me and my friends.

So I divide them every 3-4 years and I plant them rather deep 15cm (6") below soil level.
