Linnea, Freesias have bang for the buck. Buds along the stem open in sucession for a longer show (than daffs, tulips, etc) in early spring. Multiply easily and would likely store well. Pink with yellow throat are really nice. The golden yellows seem to multiple the fastest. I think ranunculus are drop dead gorgeous but they too are spring bloomers. I have not had success with out of the ground storage. Perhaps stored in fast draining soil, moistened every 2 months? Ixia are graceful with long arching narrow stems loaded with fat buds along the last 6+ inches. Late spring. Have never tried storing. Need to plant in same hole for great effect. Lovely. Babiana have rich jewel colors - over quickly and plentiful foliage is slow to ripen. Late spring. I only keep them because of the colors (in a vy large pot with chives). Sparaxis are easy. I think the purply ones are the prettiest. I tired of the red quickly. Trigridias have a larger flower than sparaxis; open to show the interesting mottled contrasting centers. Easy. Didn't combine well in my garden. I have had lousy luck with anemone blanda. De Caen anemones do great (bloomin now with the daffs) & very showy. Don't know about storage. Summer blooming semi-tropical bulbs/tubers are scant. I think you have the best with dahlias & tuberous begonias. A showly glad is Wine And Roses (I think) but it must be staked. The prettiest don't seem to be offered online. Watsonia needs to be in the ground for 2 or 3 years for a good show. Deep rooted - not a good subject for pots. Mature clumps 4+ feet tall. Devil to dig out established ones. Milk & Wine Crinum Lily - a want Scarborough Lily aka Vallota speciosa - love it. Sprekelia - very exotic looking. Mealy bugs get into mine. Homeria - seldom seen spring bloomer. Long wiry stem with canteloupe colored, tubular bell flowers - charming. My more flamboyant gardening friend saw mine & loved. Also in yellow if I remember correctly. Dutch iris - a spring must for me in medium lavender. Bletilla striata - love these. Finally found a spot where they're happy with morning sun only. Don't see foliage yet - maybe the huge weed crop obscures? Cyclamen florist type. Easy spring. Sorry so many are spring.

Tuberose are never really dormant, you will notice there is always a green tip to the bulb. They are not early risers, mine are in the ground and outside in pots and nothing is happening yet. I have in the past kept them inside and right through the winter without the foliage dying down, and they would be sending up bloom stalks by now. In the ground they bloom in the late summer here.

Kemistry, You're no fun. I was totally running with the idea of more than one variety of double tuberose. ;) They've even got different product numbers and prices...that's saying something, right? :) At least my tuberose posting got ya to respond! -Robert

Thank you. I left mine out last winter in a pot. They died down and came back, much to my surprise. honestly I kinda forgot/didn’t make time because I had a baby on thanksgiving. I wouldn’t recommen leaving them out though. Either dig up bulbs or bring your pot to a warmer location.
