Dear Friends; It seems at least once a year, I make a call for help in regard to Ungernia. I have two bulbs in the garden just coming up - both strong new growth and so far at least one has doubled. Both are in the garden for 5 years or more, but never a bloom I am always open for any source for bulbs or seeds of any species. Do any of you have contacts in any of the Central Asian 'Stan' countries - Uzbekistan, Tadjistan, Afghanistan, etc.? Same for Iran and others. Although I constantly humbug my climate's limitations, I do believe it approximates the Central Asian harshness where these plants originate. So far they are at least thriving, more than existing and much better than dead. I appreciate any wild goose chase leads anyone can suggest to locate a bulb or two of any species in the genus. Thanks for any help. best Jim W. -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd. Kansas City Missouri 64152-2711 USA Ph. 816-746-1949 Zone 5 Record low -23F Summer 100F +
