This is a bulb of Blossom Peacock that I received today. Houston, we have some issues! There's a big gash, which evidently had caused rot, before the bulb was peeled back and allowed to dry out. You can still see the dry rot, and the entire outer layer is loose.

I potted it up, making sure to plan it really high, and sprinkled the area liberally with ground cinnamon. I'm worried though if it's going to make it. My experience with bulbs like this is not encouraging.

What a bummer! Blossom Peacock is one of my favorites.
