I planted a rather large, dormant bulb in my garden in June 2015. This 
spring it produced a  nice flower and I was anticipating that it would 
go dormant sometime this Fall but it is still in robust leaf.  I also 
have a B. josephinae which has leaved out but didn't produce a flower 
despite being planted at the same time.  Perhaps they need more time to 
acclimate.

I have others in pots which over the past couple of years have been 
really screwed up in their leaf habits.     Brunsvigia bosmaniae, 
Brunsvigia grandiflora, Boophone haemanthoides are also in pots but I 
would like to put them in the ground.  Is it the time of year to do so?  
Some have just begun to grow.  I also have an Ammocharis which Greg 
Decharico correctly identified.  I have had it for about 16 years in a 
pot and would like to give it an opportunity to free range its roots! It 
is in leaf now so should I risk it?

I guess most of my questions biol down to when can these be put in the 
ground.
