Hi all,
There are 2 blooms open now. The bloom stalks are leggy and hang down. Is that normal?? Do they have a pic of the whole stem Wallaby? I got this bulb this fall from Telos and it is the first of them to bloom-just like in the wild!!
It is not the same one I had trouble with-that was g. floribundus-which surprised me this fall by coming back from complete dormancy and producing leaves. I got that from Annie's in mid winter and it immediately lost all its leaves. Something made me keep it all summer (outdoors in the rain) and it came back. I also have foliage on griseus and carinatus.
