I, too, miss the conversations on Alpine L. I was stunned by the size of the Cyclamen bulbs. I thought my four-inch bulbs were enormous. Oddly, though, the blooms seemed not to be comparatively larger. How strange! The point was made that she was protecting the bulbs from wet. Here in Tennessee we have forty-odd inches of rain a year, a lot in the winter. I have lost some of my bulbs and that may be the reason since they are doing so exceptionally well in a much dryer climate. Incidentally, I planted my bulbs about an inch underground, but they move to the surface and are easily seen with about half the bulb above ground. Elin Johnson
