M Velutina all got wiped out. Frost got outdoor ones and all brought indoors, immediately flowered and died.[/QUOTE]

If you still have the M. velutinas (now dasycarpa) in their pots don't throw them out just yet. I once overwintered some zebrinas inside in pots and thought they died only to find them regrowing in my compost pile where I had tossed them some months later. I'd keep them until spring, give them a good watering and then wait a few weeks to see if anything sprouts off the old corm.
