Speaking of A belladonna, it is flowering once again in my school garden in Chappaqua NY against a hot wall. Two spikes from one bulb or a couple of bulbs are looking good, another bulb made a spike that looks like it withered a bit. These same bulbs have survived numerous winters but the wall affords significant protection against deep freezing.
