I have a L.squamigera and am new to it I have never grown Lycorus before and to find  hat it's hardy makes me a little more confident growing it, I also just received some seed and was told they are touchy 
What would you recommend for a bulb beginner in Melbourne Australia 
I see it as if I can get a bulb to bloom 1 time I am happy Chappy

My love for it was made solid when I saw an immense clump of them in bloom on the grave of my 6-great grandfather in Lancaster Co. Pennsylvania. They are very special as cut flowers and they are fragrant, if you get up close.
