Hello Ken, They look amazing. Thank you for sharing your picture. I wonder if mine is okay, last year it did not went completely dormant, this year it did in the mist of summer (when we have actually got over 30 C during the day). Sent from my iPhone XS > On 22.

Two of the three larger bulbs (2017 seed from Silverhill) bloomed this year. One is already pushing a new set of leaves, while the smaller volunteers below (one 2017 seedling, the other from last year) never went dormant. I give them a splash of water every other week. >> Ken Blackford, San Diego, USDA zone 10. > > > _______________________________________________ > pbs mailing list > pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net > http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/…
