Strange things that plantspeople do with their plants....

I am so happy that all you torch and spade night prowlers are very far away from my garden. 

I have 3 small and 2 larger Sauromatum bulbs (about 65mm in diameter) and was told that they grow in full sun. Mine all does and are just showing growth above ground for the past two weeks. What size should a bulb be to flower?

Gunilla,

wonderful pictures. Our Border Collies like them, too.

Normally you should have a cold greenhouse for Sauromatum because if it is cold enouth they don´t smell. If bring a flowering one to place below 10° it takes maybe half an hour and you can have a look without a clip in your nose.

Ian said that he appreciated a different plant for visitors to admire! I'm sure that you wouldn't really have thrown me out, Maggie, would you ?

If you want, if you really want you could make one from plastic....

I think 65mm should be flowering size. I cross my fingers that you get flowers, it is really impressive to watch how they grow.
