I have meleagris in a pretty dry, shady spot and they seem to do just fine Shrug!

I planted a persica a couple years ago to try it--darn thing grows leaves like crazy but has yet to flower--???
Seemed like a giant bulb; how big do they have to get? maybe it just needs more time?
Last year it was hotter than Hades, all of a sudden, and blasted a lot of would-be blooms and I thought maybe that was the problem. It had these little weirdo things at the tips that just dried up.
This year it's cold and rainy or snowy, and it has the little weirdo things on the tips but it's not doing anything with them.
What do you all think? Anything you can tell me about this, since I clearly don't know much about them *Blush* ?

Oh, and the thing does 'bake' all summer in the rock garden--dry full sun
