Wow Mary Sue, I think it's an interesting comparison from your garden and a localized climate where you live. We have discussed many themes which these bulbs could bloom and fire could be one of the triggers as you have shown. I also really like the photos. I must confess I am intrigued by bulb inflorescences (or other leafless plants) that come out of barren ground. It's so alien. Nhu Berkeley CA Blooms have slowed down a bit but Nerine hybrids are still going plus a few Oxalis.
