	Bulbs for Indoors
		Geophytes come from almost every corner of the globe, but most of the ornamental species are native to the so-called Mediterranean regions.
		Many geophytes adapted to cold respond to a rise in temperature; those adapted to hot and dry conditions are tuned to an increase in moisture.
		Geophytes often start their growing season with a rush, producing flowers and leaves at the same time or sometimes producing flowers before leaves.

	What is a Geophyte Page
		A geophyte is an herbaceous plant with an underground storage organ.
		Storage organs are reserves of carbohydrates, nutrients, and water, and may be classified as bulbs, corms, tubers, rhizomes, tuberous roots, and enlarged hypocotyls.
		This stage in geophyte development is often referred to as a dormancy period or resting stage; however, such terms are misleading.

		Muscari tenuiflorum is a bulbous geophyte with 3
		is a bulbous geophyte with 3-6 narrow, glabrous, slightly glaucous leaves.
		The bulb is cream-white to light yellow, 2,5-4 cm high and 1,8-2,8 cm in diameter when mature, covered by a greyish/brown papery tunic.

	Development of an Authorware-based Multimedia Application for Floriculture Education: The Geophyte Module
		The Geophyte Module is designed as a complement to Dr. Bill Miller's Greenhouse Crop Physiology Course, HORT 310.
		To date, the primary focus has been the content and interactivity of the geophyte physiology submodule; however, the interface, basic navigation scheme, and framework for each submodule is in place and ready for content development.
		The Geophyte Physiology Submodule seeks to reinforce student's understanding of plant form and function.

	Florida Entomologist, v. 79, n. 4, p. 510
		The observed inversely density-dependent damages are discussed with respect to plant compensation, population dynamics, and sexual vs. asexual reproduction.
		This study deals with the effects of a monophagous insect on the sexual reproductive success of its geophyte host in Mediterranean habitats.
		The geophytes also reproduce vegetatively and are distributed in clones (for more detailed description of plant phenology see Schuster et al.

		More reasonable, but still nervous is comedian extraordinaire Jennifer Myszkowski who also nearly busts a mante while venomously addressing the people of the Golden State in her blog.
		geophyte - (n) a perennial plant that propagates by underground means.
		But enough with the metaphors: Think of this blog as a column about pop culture, which basically means everything these days.

	[pbs] Geophyte
		However I thought this species was a stolon that becomes tuberous, not a corm.
		But not all marsh plants are, Typha and Alsmia are helophytes but not geophytes, but obviously some plants can be both.
		A tulip is a geophyte even in a bin or even in a bag, taking a geophyte out of the ground does not alter the fact that it is a geophyte.

	[pbs] Geophyte - an uncomfortable definition ?
		One definition I saw somewhere defined geophytes as >herbaceous perennials etc. An above-ground bulb might fit that definition >if for part of each year it were totally leafless.
		Suppose a plant is a true bulb, and a wildfire burns off all foliage, but the bulb survives-is it a geophyte while the same species a mile away, not burned and still possessing foliage, not a geophyte?
		If I say "geophyte" can you get a general understanding of what I mean, even if not all the details of what I understand?
