    hi .. i'm curious about nerine bulbs .. i have several patches planted (and right now am anticipating bursts of pink), and in some cases the bulbs have erupted through the soil and come about half out of the soil .. is this usual .. i'm pretty sure they've been planted deep enough .. at least 6" .. maybe no .. any ideas?

    thanks

    Yes, it's usual.

    thanks, ron .. another curiosity answered .. by the way, how often would you think a nerine colony ought to be divided? ..
