Nery,

Are you sure your difficulty with Asiatics isn't just either overly wet soil or some bad bulbs? I grow tons of them and they multiply all over the place. Also I grow OT's and trumpets. The ones I struggle most with are the Orientals as the heavy heat scorches the blooms badly since they bloom so late. Like vossner however I have had no leaf scorch on any OT or Asiatic. LA or LO. Marty, I thought your climate was very mild in tems of average temps inthe summer; maybe you have a more direct, less filtered sun?

My garden is in transition between the spring bulbs with leaves starting to decay and the lilies. Fortunately the Irises are tiding things over! :-) Everything here is returning from last season and not newly planted, and I am getting lots of Asiatic multiplication
