Claire, I have saved one in the past and think (italics) that the bulb bloomed again, but with fewer blossoms. Too many years ago. This bulb may have spent himself having produced 13 blossoms -- a twisted stem of 4 blossoms and 2 straight stalks, 5 blossoms on one stalk and 4 on the other, but I will save him. When the blooms are fully spent, I'll remove the stalks leaving the leaves on the bulb throughout the summer. I will put them outside by the end of May, post frost date. Previously, I put a finished bulb in shade, facing north next to the garage, and did nothing until mid-October, pre-frost, when I removed the leaves and trimmed its dried roots. Then started all over in new soil, but I really think that held-over bulb had less enthusiasm for a second go. I have two to hold over this year, so we'll see if a north-facing summer outdoors encourages either to become energetic in autumn. Jane

Thanks......I have thought of that as a Sherlock Holmes' hat. I'm chuckling as I try to imagine any of the deer hunters in this country EVER wearing this jaunty little number with the bow on top ! Or.....is it not for actual hunting ? Either way, a bit too cutsie !

yoyo, I think the deerstalker was originally worn by ghillies (Scottish word for attendant at fishing, stalking, hunting events) Made of tweed and the over-fancy bow in the picture, is for tying up the ear-flaps.
