Hi Lee, Do you have any other species growing without any special care down there? I'm doing my early research for and Pacific Hort article on species tulips and am looking for more that do well without any chilling. Thanks! Merrill in Palo Alto, CA Zone 9/10 where we've been having spring like weather since two weeks before Christmas... I never chill this cultivar and it blooms every year here in the Pasadena area of southern California. I've had it blooming for at least ten years. --Lee Poulsen Pasadena, California, USDA Zone 10a _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.ibiblio.org http://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/list.php
