Wonderful colour what beauties.

They look terrific, Balcony.

Thank you! 👍😀 These first 4 plants have started to grow with no help on my part! As soon as I see a bud in the neck of the bulb I start to water again. They have been totally dry for months up until about 6 weeks ago - the time from when the bud starts to be visible in the neck of the bulb till they flower.

Super display there.

Almost all of these plants have finished flowering for this year.

Curiously almost all my bulbs this year are producing 2 scapes per bulb! I've never had this before! A few may produce a 2nd scape but not almost them all!

Perhaps the hot summer last year is responsible!

Strange things happening with lots of plants ... and, yes, probably due to the hot weather of last summer.

I started others into growth last week by giving them a little water & putting them in a sunny windowsill (Our bedroom (East facing) & the kitchen windowsill (Southwest facing) so in about 6 or 7 weeks a lot more will flower!

In another couple of weeks I shall start some more off in the same way!

Good luck with your plants ... today, indoor tasks are definitely the way to go .. freeeeezing out there !

It's certainly turned colder recently :( Seems like winter has returned for a week or two in the middle of April! :(
