My Pecteilis radiata which I had ordered last Fall from von Bourgondien, arrived yesterday. They are tiny corms, hardly larger than a pea.
I think I will stick them into the Bog/into live Moss and see if they sprout. It seems the problem will be keeping them dry in Winter. They are supposed to be hardy to zone 5 with some mulch. But the wetness might do them in, so lifting them in Fall and storing them dry and cold somewhere else might be a good idea.
Wish me luck!
