Tulbaghia fragrans, aka Society Garlic.I've had these bulbs a couple of
years and have planted them outside in summer to soak up lots of sunshine
and nutrients. Unfortunately, no flowers those years. I pot them up and
put in garage over winter along with agapanthus (no flower either) and
amaryllis (hippeastrum). Last night I cleaned off some of the ded leaves
from the various containers an, lo and behold, the Tulbaghia was
blooming. Soil was dry as a bone; plant had just a couple of green lvs
left, but 3 long stems of nice sized flowerheads. I quickly brought it
in and watered it. The fragrance is wonderful. So. What now? I
thought these puppies were supposed to bloom sometime from May to
October. Should I keep it in the warm house and start feeding or put it
back in the garage when it's done blooming? Kitty
