I lusted after this plant and tracked down some bulbs. When the bulbs arrived, all but one were soft on the roots. The person I got them from was more than accomodating sending a few extra when I notified them. I potted the bulbs in the early spring and placed them in bright light but not where they would get overwhelmed with spring rains. The plant files show that it is ok for this zone and sun is ok. A zipcode report listed Brazoria, Tx. Should work for me.
These bulbs started rotting one by one. I guess that is what they were doing. When I pulled them from the soil the bottom was soft and they smelled like something died and forgot to go to heaven! As they were fading away, I even tried repotting the ones that weren't rotten using fresh soil, new pots. Today, the last one bit the dust. I am torqued and confused. Was this something wrong with the bulbs or me?
