Frank Car wrote of Scadoxus multiflorus "Interestingly, a couple years ago... I forgot to bring them out that year. I thought they would be dead for sure but I was wrong! Completely dry for over a whole year but when watered they soon took off and flowered like nothing had happened! Simply amazing." I had exactly the same experience last year with some Hymenocallis 'Sulfur Queen' dug in the fall of 2010: that they were still alive in 2012 was amazement enough, but that they popped into bloom a few weeks after being planted was unbelievable.
