Mine are outside right now--growing leaves....

Come time to bring plants in--I will take them into my Shop, where they
all will promptly yellow and drop all their leaves. Then--it is time for
their 6-7 week snooze. Dry and ignored...

In about a month or so--I will cut their elongated necks back with a sharp knife.
This is also the time I may re-pot them or just re-fresh the soil they are in.

When I see signs of growth peeping out--I will start watering them and, in a bit more,
bring them upstairs to the LR. There they just go bananas!

Hey? How many people do you know that can still get such fabulous blooms as I do--
from the SAME bulbs--after 25-some years ?????

Usually, they bloom around March for me. That's OK--as my BD is in March.
