 Thank you.

Now, bulb content:  for the past few years, I have been growing the orange flowered Ornithogalum dubium that are widely available in the late winter (mine came from Trader Joes).  I keep them dry and warm in summer and repot in late September, and they have bloomed reliabley.  This year they failed to break dormancy.  I just dumped them out of the pot, and the bulbs appear healthy; there's just no growth.  The Wiki says that failure to grow is a common problem with this species, but I'm wondering if I should continue to water during the usual growth period even though the bulbs aren't doing anything.   Would that just be asking them to rot?
