Soaking bulbs???
Has anyone ever soaked flower bulbs in water before planting?I read a article that said it would help with producing better flowers.It also said that soaking them in certain substances could prevent disease and deter pests.If this is true which ones should be soaked and what should they be soaked in?It seems like they would rot?

in luke warm water for just a few hours are the Grecian wind flower, Anemone blanda. But then you plant them in a site that has well drained soil. As far as keeping pests away maybe they are using a chemical but in general bulbs are dormant and don't need to be soaked prior to planting.
