bunti--

no telling what these plants will do. If the conditions are right and they wanted to expend the energy they will send scapes, and we humans can't stop them :o) Blossom Peacock is an aggressive grower, much like Dancing Queen. So you COULD get another bloom sometime this winter but don't be disappointed if you do not. Some hippis respond well to the dormancy, ebb and flow of the seasons while others make it their mission to bloom whenever they want.

I use my Royal Velvet as an example, as it has bloomed about every 1-2 months since I got it. And despite it blooming so much the bulb continues to grow in size. Meanwhile, very few of my other plants do this. The last time it bloomed was early August and is again sending up a scape now that will likely bloom mid-October.

Enjoy your blooms! You never know when these bulbs will deny you in the future!

D-Ryan, I vote for RV-selfed pollination - with seeds on your trade list :-) That bulb sounds amazing! I wonder if it would pass along that bloom tendency? Alana

Alana I'm sure it would. It even grows babies really quickly. Lizalily got a baby in last year's trade and it bloomed for her-- so it would have been around 18 months old when it bloomed.

Funny thing is, it seems to only grow one baby at a time. It currently has one about the size of a large marble that showed up around the last blooming in August. I'll self this next blooming for you.

If your bulbs bloom more than once a year, count yourself lucky... mine only bloom once a year, usually around early spring.

Ryan is right... there's no telling what these bulbs will do! I'd say that if they're blooming more than once a year, you're doing something right! They must like how you're growing them!

My "baby bulb" from Ryan is the handsomest of all my amies after a summer outside. Huge leaves! What did you feed that guy, Ryan! I think you need to send me some of what ever it was!

It must be something in the Colorado water! All of Ryan's plants seem to do more than well!

I do have somany seeds, none of them are germinating. I planted 3 sets more then 50 seeds each set. none of them germinated.

2 sets i put them in the soil. one set i did water floating method. but no luck.
