sorry, got rather busy this weekend. I have these pots plunged into a bed and the roots are growing out the bottom into the ground. This particular one I pulled out because its the exact bulb pictured in the link above--notice I have it planted right up to the leaves as indicated.

it is going dormant now, which is why it looks so ratty. This is our hottest and driest season. Like I said, It grows mostly fall, winter, spring for me. And it really needs to be in a bigger pot and definitely a clay pot. think I just grabbed the nearest thing at the time to get this planted but I think it stays to wet in the winter in this pot.
