Hi Pamela
As I know the Scilla is quite rare, I have never seen it sold in the
stores, and only a few times in botanical gardens. How did you come about
getting the bulbs? Sometimes this group just amazes me - I have learned
more here than anywhere else. The gems just keep showing up!
Thank you
Luminita
