I have Acidanthera corms I would like to trade for some Crocosmia corms. If you don't have Crocosmia, let me know what you do have.

Here is a link that might be useful: about Acidanthera

Hi, I will have Crocosmia 'Lucifer' corms but they are buried right now under frozen soil and snow. I'd like to trade for some Acidanthera, but it would have to wait until early spring when there is a bit of a thaw.

Ignoring last year when a mouse or something got into my box and ate every last one I have done this for several years and had them re-bloom. I dont even take special care with them - had them in a bucket in the back stairwell or in a bag in the laundry room. I bought a ton more this spring (they are really almost cheap enough to treat as annuals)and dug them a couple of weeks ago and am drying them in the shed where they will stay until temps start dropping below freezing. I think I will not put them in the semi-heated furnace room that apparently has rodents but back in the laundry room.

Hi Assume you are refferring to Acidanthera (Gladiolus callianthe) and not Pleione orchids?? Both are commonly called Peacock orchids though the bulb type is actually a member of the Gladiolus family. Both are extremely cold intolerant. yet require long growing season to flower well. i have trouble with the required long hot DRY rest peiod for the bulbs. Got the heat and long but not the dry lol. You could start them indoors and then move them out to extend the growing season. I grow them in pots and move them indoors during summer to avoid the rains gary

Hello Usha, Very nice! I've wanted to grow some of those but didn't think they'd do good here. Do you have them in full sun or part shade? When did you plant the bulbs? Think I might try some since your's are doing so well. Thanks for sharing, Gemfire

I got them about two weeks ago. I'll put them in barely moist potting soil today. Come spring, I'll plant some out, and keep some in a pot -- I'm told the fragrance is heavenly, and that it's nice to have some in a pot that you can move close to where people are sitting. Thanks for the help. I was alarmed to see the little bulbs getting smaller in their jackets!
