Bulbs

Bulbs are fascinating they enchant you with beautiful blooms without much fuss.
In my early days of gardening I tried every bulb that I could lay my hands on.
Due to my in-experience or other reasons I gave up all except a few.
A lot of data is available on internet especially from various sites/universities of USA but none from places say like Lahore.
I find that many members of this form are growing a variety of bulbs under different conditions.
It would be very educating for all of us if each was to give in detail her/his experience regarding each bulb being grown under local conditions, the success the failures and so on.
Please give your experience of each bulb, regarding general management, grown in pots or beds, the soil, lifted or left in soil, stored dry or moist, in storage kept at room temperature or chilled, planting time, watering, fertilisation and any other point considered relevant.
This data would be much, much more reliable and useful than any found on internet.
