Even winters coldest day can't keep the hope of spring away

Thanks Will,

I cut off the droppy leaves. It's still producing new leaves. They are comming in completely green. Does that mean it is getting to much sun? It couldn't get to hot in the house for a tropical plant could it? It was mid 80's today and I am still dripping wet.

These have only been planted since early April so they are only 3 months old. I hope they don't want their rest period already.

All I have fertilizer wise is the house plant general miracle grow water soluable stuff is that ok?

I hope I didn't give the wrong impression. I have about 6 bulbs in a 30" planter and it is nice and full. But some leaves bent over and I didn't know why? I thought it might have been a symptom of something I did wrong so I wanted to check. The most recent leaves have come in small and from what I've read that would indicate lack of water. But when I increase the water I get the bent stems. And they are comming in mostly green which is suppose to mean they are in a sunny location for them. So I'm just trying to figure out what to do to make them happy. They would probably be happiest if I would just leave them alone lol. I have a tendency to baby plants to death. I'm hoping to add the red ones to the mix next year. This year I have the white only.

That's hard to hear Will. I have to say I will probably have an attack of stubborn and try. At least knowing that they are characteristics of the plant I won't feel quite as bad. Thankyou for the information.
