My Neon has eight (8) blossoms on one scape. Is that the norm for Neon?

Carol,

Eight is the amount I had on all my 'Neon' bulbs. It's a giver. I'm sure this is progeny from H. reticulatum var. striatifolium that can carry 8 blooms per stalk!

Thanks for the info! The scape is about a yard-stick long, too. I don't know if I'll get photos... houseguests arrive tomorrow... I shouldn't even be on GardenWeb right now...

But we want to see pictures!!!

I did well hiding all my pots for Christmas... Good thing I have a "Grow Room" haha. The house I recently bought has 4 bedrooms so I dedicated one to my plants. I used lots of artificial lighting, I have it climate controlled with heaters, coolers, humidifies and such. My plants do quite well but they do much, much better outside in the summer. When things are blooming my family things they're the most beautiful plants in the world. When they're not in bloom their opinions quickly change!

Joshy - I want a separate room! I have all of the outdoors, but it is not enough. You are fortunate to have a hiding place for your hobby/passion.

I grabbed some quick photos of Neon earlier today. Knew it would be too late if I waited for the weekend. I will upload and post in a few days. For someone like me who almost never purchases bulbs, Neon was a really wonderful choice.
