I have acclimated some imports.... both winter and summer growers.... basically, I put them in a good dry mix (assuming they come to you in a dormant state), put them in shade or indirect light, and just keep an eye on them. In my experience, I see root growth before foliage... I just pull them out (I only half bury them until I find growth if they are a species that needs to be buried) and check for new white roots..... Once I see root growth, I start to water lightly and then when I see some green, I give them a good soaking.... I do this for individual bulbs, as even bulbs from the same species and shipment can break dormancy a month or so apart in my experience.
You definitely need to take Jim up on his invitation. His website lists some great species I would love to see also...... Too bad I am 2500 miles away.
Cheers, Allen
