A friend just called to ask what is the color inside a crocosmia corm. I
don't know, and while my reference books happily list details of shape,
size, appearance of tunic, tunic color etc none mention the interior.
Now, it is true that most of us do our best to avoid inadvertently
slicing and dicing our bulbs. But if you did mangle a crocosmia (I think
it was the good old common 'Lucifer' that Jayne had in hand) she and I
would appreciate knowing what color the inside of a healthy corm is
supposed to be. TIA

significantly greened up the landscape - verdant for sure.
