favorite yellow-flowered bulbs

Jim:

Sorry for evoking the bulb lust. I grow it just at the drip line of
some 25 year old fagus sylvatica ( European Beech) . The soil is
ordinary garden soil which I have augmented with some grit and a couple
of handfuls of alfalfa pellets. I must admit that the trees are
reaching out over the bulbs so at some point it may develop into a
problem. They share the area with a number of lycoris and a
cardiocrinum giganteum that I have nurturing along for four years. Each
year the number of leaves on the cardiocrinum get bigger and taller. At
some point I may get a flower and then lose the bulb. I am located two
miles west of the George Washington Bridge.

The lily came from the SLPG and has flowered two years since I received
it. The flowers have a very thick and waxy texture.
