So far I have only dug up calla lily bulbs, and some of the purple oxalis corms. The canna lily is still blooming. So I am going wait for a while.

The other bulbs to be dug up are the big elephant ears. I planted 6 bulbs this year. They have all grown very well. I would like to save the bulbs if I can. Has anybody ever dug them up for the winter and replanted them the next spring? I grew one years ago, but when I dug it up in the fall,. there was no bulb at all. It was just a lot of roots.
