My winter bloomers mostly had tiny sprouting tips from the moment I opened the envelopes. They will enjoy the summer heat here and are growing tall. It should be interesting to see the next step in transitioning them to my climate (Santa Barbara area). I’m thinking it would benefit us all if we collected our own data on how the bulbs do as they transition and share it. Some of us may have some experiences that are different from the rest that work better, or work worse. That’s a good time to “ do a little research”. I’m very pleased with the whole lot of mine.

The Winter growers ( mostly Lachanalia) have shot out the ground and looking great . Now the transition is going to be interesting . I have them in my greenhouse so that I can control the moisture of the pots better. > Here we have had a couple of days of Temperatures in the 100,sF so I have once again added shade cloth over my outdoor growing area . > Regards > Ottoline > Zone 9b > Yuba City > > > _______________________________________________ > pbs mailing list > pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net > https://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… > Unsubscribe: <mailto:pbs-unsubscribe@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> > PBS Forum https://… _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net https://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… Unsubscribe: <mailto:pbs-unsubscribe@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> PBS Forum https://…
