I saw a fat-n-happy Bulbine in someone's yard the other day. Their Bulbine was well watered, with plenty of space to itself. Their Bulbine was thriving.
Then there's my Bulbine. I thought it was dead in the summer of '09. It became completely dark grey, having not had any water for nearly a year. This picture shows it not looking its worst. It looked worse than this!
About a week after my Bulbine looked its very worst, it rained quite heavily. I thought: "Ah, now that dead Bulbine will be easy to dig out!" I went out a few days after the rain to dig it up, and the darn thing was completely greened up: fat-n-happy. T'was the most amazing transformation.
Mine is also not luxuriating in plenty of space. Mine is crammed between the great billowing Tagetes lemonii and a very happy Mariana sedifolia, a plant which is happier on even less water than a Bulbine. And yet my Bulbine is thriving, too.
Should you wish to engage in Bulbine abuse, feel free.
