It takes 7 years to bloom, each year it grows another leaf so when you get the 7th leaf you know it will bloom that year.

The fleshy leaves appear in winter, flowers early spring, and is setting seed and retreating into dormancy now. When dormant there is no trace of it. I was thinking of collecting some seed to donate to the PBS SX if anyone may be interested in trying this plant. It requires a dry summer rest and the fleshy crowns can be treated like bulbs, dug and divided in late summer and easily transplanted. > > Travis Owen > Rogue River, OR > > amateuranthecologist.blogspot.com > _______________________________________________ > pbs mailing list > pbs@lists.ibiblio.org > http://pacificbulbsociety.org/list.php > http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/ _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.ibiblio.org http://pacificbulbsociety.org/list.php http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/
