What has been interesting about them is that they don\u2019t really thrive in the greenhouse, but they reproduce anyway through offsets.  So, I\u2019ve had up to a dozen pots of them in the past, but I am probably down to five pots now.  Usually one or two of the bulbs seem to be doing well and getting several leaves and building up mass\u2013teasing me into thinking that maybe someday there could be flowers.  But in twelve years, no flowers have appeared.  I\u2019ve asked the Pacific Bulb Society members for suggestions, but their suggestions and the online resources haven\u2019t solved anything for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery
