Dear all; Leucojum (or is it Acis?) vernum carpaticum starts emerging flowers first, but by now already has a stem with yellow tipped flowers. A very slow increaser compared to L. aestivum which is eager to multiply and self sow. Can't see much different with a small plant of 'Gravetye Giant'. Nice to see, but seems way too early along with lots of other pre-spring blooms. Best Jim W. -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd.
