Only a handful bloomed and they never returned.

Paper whites may rebloom, if you plant them very deep. I grew some and they all bloomed, but only the stalks emerged for about 10 years. Someone said that they need to be planted deeply for the size of the bulb to increase.

Spider lillies and crinums are fun. I've been ordering crinums from Brent and Becky's because they're the cheapest source.

Well, you've got spider lillies and cannas. My cannas died here, but I think it's just too hot and dry in San Antonio. LeftInTX Saturday #4
