Does anyone on urg grow these? I'd be very interested to hear how you
cultivated them. I have just potted up four bulbs. The instructions
with them were less than helpful, but I've done a spot of research and
hope they'll be okay. Are they hard to grow and get into flower?
Should I expect to see flowers this year? Should I protect them from
slugs and snails. They are currently indoors in a cold (not frosty)
garden room. I have not watered them in, but the compost was not bone
dry.

I would appreciate any advice, anecdotal tales of success and woe and,
if you must, even boasting :~)). Thanks.
