Makiko: I live south of Norwoood, which is not far from Boston, MA. The Scilla's that Vivian inquired about wouldn't survive the winters here outdoors. Many of us picked up the Scilla that Vivivian asked about from a distributor right here in NJ.

I like this nursery. They have many varieties for our zone 9-10 at reasonable price. I went to their store last June. Amaryllis flowered this week, but they look different from my order. Actually it is much pretty and cheerful. I sent an image to them to figure the name yesterday. They might have many bulbs from growers in Israel? I remember that I purchased new paperwhite hybridized in Israel a couple years before, Scilla bulbs bloom outdoor in your area? We plan to move to your area next summer.
