Took a picture just now----

Here they are all growing--the big pot has only 3 buds/blooms so far.
Among all the others--there is only two more....SO! 5 pots--many years old--and only 5 blooms
among them all......pretty sad!
I DID refresh the soil in all of these pots....both at the bottom of the roots and on top.

Not enough light--I say! All these leaves! I would love to see a fat bloom stem first!
Leaves later.....
Maybe--also not the proper "letting go to dormancy" procedures. Some take the bulbs out of
the pots for the winter. I just let them all sit--cool and dry.
I still tend to do what Allan Summers preached. Time to change something....
