Hi Lisa, Congratulations! I have germinated these also ... but it seems to have taken mine over a year to do so. Mine have been slow and have yet to flower ... they are about 5 years old now. Part of that might be due to my mistreatment ... they have remained in a shaded spot (which is probably good) but have gone two summers with little or no water. With recent rains they have put out a new flush of growth.

It has formed a small bulb, but has no roots. What is my next step? Lisa Weisner
