Author Message   Euphorbphreak  My Weather My Time Posted on Thursday, August 28, 2003 - 04:47 pm EST :    I'm half-way through bulb planting this year, and expect another batch at the end of September, then should be set. Except for the cyclamen, the rest are new for me. Does anyone have experience with these?

The only one I've heard of is the Cyclamen. Very interesting. cahenry (Cathy) GA Zone 7   Kniceone  My Weather Posted on Thursday, August 28, 2003 - 05:03 pm EST :    Me too.....never heard of most of them or seen them. Jodi, ONT, Z4, Great White North   Monique  My Favorite Photo My Weather My Time Posted on Thursday, August 28, 2003 - 05:10 pm EST :    Triteleia looks awfully familiar..Quite like my Alium Azureum that I love:)I ordered many more for this fall... GR is amazing..(No I don't grow it :( our climates are so different David ..I would be hard pressed to keep your choices alive..) It really makes me look forward to all YOUR photos..When do you expect blooms? Monique Quebec Zone 5   Euphorbphreak  My Weather My Time Posted on Thursday, August 28, 2003 - 06:32 pm EST :    Cath, some are from dutchgardens.com, some from thebulbman.com. From what I have read, nearly all do well as container plants, so I reserved two of them for indoor pots and the rest outside. Monique, they should all be spring blooming into early summer. I've dedicated a whole part of a hillside to them, so I hope they give me a good display! Keep your fingers crossed. I agree about the GR...looks like sliced watermelon to me!

I have the veltheimia in a pot, it's now leafing up again after its summer dormancy - it's like a pink kniphofia, I love it! Sue Central Maine z4   Galanthophile  Posted on Friday, August 29, 2003 - 05:00 am EST :    I have autumn cyclamen in bloom now but the rest look way too tender for northern UK! Ann UK   Euphorbphreak  My Weather My Time Posted on Friday, August 29, 2003 - 08:52 pm EST :    Sue, that's so interesting! How long have you grown this? Did it bloom for you last year? I've chosen to grow this one in a pot indoors this year too. David, the other CA, 9b/17   Kniphofia  My Favorite Photo My Weather Posted on Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 02:54 am EST :    David, yes this did bloom for me last year and was gorgeous - just like a small pink kniphofia. It is dormant in summer then leafs out in fall and usually blooms around Feb time, as you can see from the snow outside in the photo. Here it is today.. Sue Central Maine z4   Gardenbug  My Favorite Photo My Weather Posted on Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 03:17 am EST :    I have seen some of these in photos..Queen Fabiola etc... but never tried them. I can't even seem to keep Agapanthus going. This will keep me thinking 'spring' as I anticipate your photos. I've just planted trillium...but need more I now realize. Never enough! I also just received some deep blue camassia and white erythronium. gardenbug Ontario, Canada 5b, USDA 4   Frostycurls  My Favorite Photo My Weather My Time Posted on Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 06:00 am EST :    Except for the cyclamen, they are too tender for me David but I'll look forward to seeing pictures of yours. I love the color of the Geissorhiza radians. Penny Oregon Zone 7   Euphorbphreak  My Weather My Time Posted on Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 02:37 pm EST :    Thanks Sue! It looks as good as the picture. This is the one bulb I set aside for container planting for indoors this winter. It's already potted up and I will leave it dry til mid October when it starts cooling off. Bug, some of these bulbs prefer pt sun/pt shade, so are good indoor plants for winter. The trick to all of them is to let them go dry when the leaves yellow after bloom, then put them away til September or October, then start watering again. David, the other CA, 9b/17
