Hi Donna ! I remeber the pictures of yours blooming ! Mine had bad moments too when I was letting it outside during summer , now it keep it inside and it seems to prefer. it blooms on surprising small bulbs !

HI Beatrice,

What a beautiful flower :-))) You must be very happy...I know I would be :-)))

Oh Béatrice, your H. nelsonii and its babies are very beautiful and robustly healthy!

Mine produced an offset, which I removed and rooted separately, but the mother bulb never flowers.

Any growing advice would be sincerely appreciated.

Cheers,

Blanca

Hi Béatrice, thank you for that beautiful picture! Of course I went to look for my H. nelsonii baby bulb too when I saw your flower :-) It seems to be happy but waiting for the spring to get more light and warmth...

Thank you Fred ,Anja sure your baby just need more time , check the bulb diameter , I am always surprised thet bloom appears on so small bulbs !

Blanca , when I had difficulties whith my nelsonii you gave me growing advices , so I changed my growing conditions and it worked well , you remember ? so Now I keep it evergreen , in summer in the shaded greenhouse (because outside I have too much risk of excessive rain and snails that I can't control ), and in winter in the house , so finaly : warm and not excessive humidity. I use a classic draining mix , and a hight and straight 2 liters pot (the ones for rosebush).

I do remember giving the advice, Béa. :-) And I do follow the advice I gave.

However, despite waiting very patiently, my bulb never flowers.

Blanca I send you a PM
