Over a year ago I bought some bare rooted ones on line. The 20 or so corms [T sessile, T grandifolium, T caetsbii and T lutea] were not cheap. They were duly planted according to instructions and not one grew. I knocked the pots out and most had rotted away. 5 were still firm but not moving.

I complained to the company who sent me replacments and asssured me I was just unlucky.

well I checked them back in January and all corms were firm but showing no sign of life.

Today there are 4 ;D shoots above the soil. Hope the others show or these are going to be the most expensive plants I have ever bought.

Geranium also bought some and had more success. [green with envy] How are yours now?

When I get chance and find the camera I will take pictures.

I'll do that tomorrow. Not all have appeared, though.
