Jim Mc kenney reported yesterday that his Tecophelias have started flowering. I went out to look at mine and there they are just opening up. Just another puzzling example that in spite of the geographical and climatic differences flowerings starts the same day. The same feature this forum noticed with Dahlia impmerialis, Amaryllis belladonna and others. Can any one think of an explanation Greetings Lauw Lauw de Jager http://www.bulbargence.com/ South of France (Climat méditerranéen; zone 8 Olivier) Latitude 34° N Altitude: 4m
