Most of the leaves froze when we were out of town but not all the way down to the bulb, so I dug them and after about a week I cut them off. Then laid the bulbs out to dry. They were in storage all last winter and this spring I planted them out in the garden. Three of them bloomed out there and they had all gotten bigger but I have probably at least15 bulbs so I was hoping I could get some of the others to bloom again or there isn't much sense in keeping them.



These are the three that bloomed. Apple Blossom and the two reds have been pretty consistent in blooming but the rest haven't bloomed for awhile.
