Sarah:

The first one that comes to mind is the Lachenalias.
I have a number in flower at the moment and more on the way in the next couple of weeks
I keep my cool greenhouse at 45-50 F with some supplemental lighting.
Attached is  an image of Lachenalia bifolia flower now.

Hi List,

I need some recommendations about bulbs I could grow in my (cool) 
greenhouse that would be _easy_!  I'm pretty new to both greenhouse 
growing and bulbs, and the Moraeas I've been growing have been a bit 
difficult (not much bloom, aphids...).  I love them though and will keep 
on with them, but I need a few others that are a bit easier for me, 
under my conditions.  I live in Enumclaw, Washington, Zone 7a.  Lots of 
clouds in the winter, hot dry summer, but I do have lights I can add in 
the winter if necessary.  I keep my greenhouse between 50 and 60F.

I'm looking for winter bloomers. My preference would be for bulbs with 
lots of color (I love the peacock moraeas for example).  And I would 
like to be able to start with bulbs rather than seeds. Not the PNW 
bulbs, as I can (at least try to) grow them outside. And not huge plants 
as my greenhouse is only 8' x 12'.

Anybody have ideas?

thanks list,

Sarah
