Last March I posted about rooting backbulbs in water. Both of the plants have now flowered in a year or less.
The blue one below is the first one I did - started just about a year ago in November. It is Bc Lois McNeil 'Hilo.' (I thought it was Walnita Char but obviously not). It eventually developed three pbs, and flowered on the third one. The next one is Bc Korch Wallis, which was started in February this year and bloomed in October. It was a fun experiment and it worked!
