Thank you to both Mike and Guy. It’s nice to know I’m not alone. In parts of eastern North America where it was cool this greatly delayed bulbs in general. I also water my bulbs the way you’ve described. I’ll water it very minimally now and leave it dormant until next year. Cheers! Erika

It has not come out of dormancy this year which perplexes me. The bulb is very much alive. We had a cooler May and June but both July and August have been warm. Similarity my Brunsvigia grandiflora came out of dormancy only about 2 weeks ago while B. radulosa looks super. Does anyone have any explanation for this? I?m dumbfounded! Erika, Toronto, Ontario
