Difficult to propagate bulbs

The autumn snowflake, Acis longifolia, whispers secrets of delicate beauty, its slender white bells a fleeting autumnal dream. But coaxing its propagation is a dance with fragility. Fingers, hesitant yet sure, separate the clinging daughter bulbs, each a tiny promise of future blooms. The earthy scent of freshly turned soil mingles with the tense anticipation. A misstep, a careless tug, and the delicate roots snap, dreams dissolving into dust. Yet, the successful division, the careful replanting, yields more than just bulbs; it yields a harvest of hope, a testament to patient persistence, culminating in the triumphant return of those ethereal white flowers.
