You got really good looking rounds from the bulbils!

I am sad to hear that none of the Siberian rounds survived. That is quite surprising, because it has been the best winter surviver in my garden. If you want to try again, I can save some scapes uncut and send the bulbils to you.

I have read somewhere that the extra large rounds are not good for fall planting, because those may rot easily. I think that it may be due to the thick layer of rotting organic material around the new growth. I planted some extra large Alexandra rounds last fall, but unfortunately did not mark which were the biggest ones , so I could had checked how the did.

I have not harvested any of my bulbil plantings yet, but I did carefully poke the soil in the pots and felt that there are rounds forming.
