How to Propagate Acis autumnalis
The tiny bulb, barely larger than a dewdrop, holds the promise of autumn’s grace. Dividing the Acis autumnalis, the Autumn Snowflake, is a delicate dance; a sharp blade parting earth-clinging roots, releasing the precious offsets. Each minute bulblet, a whispered hope, demands gentle handling, a reverence for life’s fragile beginnings. The slow, painstaking work yields meagre numbers, a handful of stars for a future constellation. Yet, to see these fragile white blossoms, each a tiny, perfect star, unfurl in the deepening autumn light – this is the gardener’s sublime reward, a testament to patience, and a whispered secret shared between earth and hand.
