I took advantage of the end of season sale from Van Engelen last fall. I ordered White Pixels, Orange Electric, Jennifer Pearl, Auratum Gold Band, Anastasia, Sweet Surrender, and Regale Album. I totally forgot that I had these bulbs, and found them at the end of January. The bulbs looked dessicated, and some of them were even moldy. Being the cheap person that I am, I didn't want to throw them away. I decided to pot them up on January 27th, and placed them outside of my basement, without watering them. I let Mother Nature take her course and to my surprise, all of the bulbs have grown, except for Auratum Gold Band. Something has been digging in the pot on this one. I thrilled to say that Jennifer Pearl and Orange Pixels have buds.

Lesson learned, never give up, no matter how bad they look.
