Galtonia

I have tried these blessed bulbs in most parts of the garden. They grow well - lush and stately - and no flowers.

Disturbed, undisturbed. Fed and starved. Sun and dappled light. Wet, dry, equable... They grow well. Lush and stately and no flowers.

About five k's away they flower...:-(

All polite suggestions are very welcome. (Exclude the ones about compost and donate, please. I'm not there yet.)

Fine weather is proposed for next week. I've just about finished my Oxalis repot and I'll be ready for a spot of 'after work' lounging. My fingernails might recover, too. (I wish!)

They prefer to be left undisturbed for several years. You can divide them in late winter. They need full sun for flowering.
Cheers,
Dee.

Aha! Then the sunbathers can stay where they are and the ones in the bucket can take their chances.

Thank you, Dee.
