Just wanted to share the photo with you guys

These are quite magnificent plants when grown well. I always seemed to do ok with them in their first year (due to the growers expertise) but I could never get the bulbs to grow well afterwards. For me it was a downward spiral as the bulbs got smaller each year.

Hi Terry

I have no idea how this one (well there 2 mother bulbs in the pot – one with 2 babies and another with only one) survives me as it spends most of the year outside on the balcony from Feb 2009 till first snow in December it was out. No watering just a bit of rain. Now it drinks like horse – about 2 liters a week! And after flowering I just use the leftovers from orchids to feed/water it

My Gran had great sucsess with these 20 years ago, they never failed to flower for her and I don't know how she did it, she must of had 12 or 15 of them in the end. She loved them.
All I can remember is she used to throw the dregs of the cold tea from the teapot on them that seemed to be the answers to all her plant problems.
