Dear Janet
Your succesful experience with Polianthes tuberosa in pots intriques me
and is quite the opposite of what I generally hear. More often they
only produce leaves and no flowers after the first year without repotting.
Tell us more about how you acheive this: (is it the double or single
form, how long have they been in the pot etc ?)
I will also put the question to the bulb forum and I will keep you informed
Greetings
