Hello Janet,

Years ago, spring blooming bulbs and corms awarded me with some of my first 
feelings of gardening success.  I could stick the bulbs into the ground in 
the autumn or early winter, let the rains water them, and enjoy the blooms in 
the spring.  

I remember reading about some African tulips that bloom yearly without the 
winter chill.  Now I can't locate the article, and don't remember the names.  
They would thrive in a Mediterranean climate without having to be dug, 
chilled and replanted yearly.  Could anyone provide information?
