Hi Everyone--

I live in San Francisco, in the fog belt, and have a pot of D. filiformis
(typical) that are now forming the tell tale woolly hibernaculae typical
of this species. My question: Is this too early in the growing season
for this? They grew well this year and bloomed quite a lot, even though
temps have been on the cool side. At about this time of year, we usually
experience an Indian Summer. What happens if the plants begin growing
again? Should I just leave it be? Or should I keep them in a dormant
state by artificially lowering temps and light?
