About a week ago Jim Waddick reported the bloom of Leucojum vernum in his zone 5 Kansas garden. Leucojum vernum is finally blooming here in my zone 7 garden. The form blooming here also has yellow-tipped flowers. To give an idea of where we are in the bulb year here, early reticulate irises, mid-season crocus, and late Galanthus are all in bloom. Narcissus Tete a Tete opened a few days ago. It's been a cold, slow year here so far.
