Yeah, actually I should have done that a month earlier.
In my web research I found out, that they are anti-cyclic, so they bloom in late fall/ early winter, and hibernate in spring and summer. During the "hibernation", they grow like grass and store the power in their bulbs/ rhizome.
And exactly those bulbs I bought. 30 pcs for 10€ in my local garden center.
With a bit of luck, a few of them might bloom in a few days or weeks, but I think they will just look boring the next 10 months...
But I think that especially the fact that they are passive makes them cool. That way they could make it great in my indoor house plants or perennial fruits on my balcony!
