After the blooms have faded I cut the flowering scape back and keep the foliage going. May 1st I remove the plant from the container and plant it in my garden and leave it there all season. As the weather cools down I bring it back inside. After a rest in a dark place with no water for about one month I repot the bulb. This year I was rewarded with four beautiful blooms and two new side bulbs. Visiting Florida each year one of our neighbors keeps his Bulbs in the ground all year and I am enclosing a picture of his results.

The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The 2nd best time is now. (-Unknown)

Try to be more valuable than a bad example.
