Dear all; My experience reflects others. I bought a number of bulbs cheaply and planted them around. Most bloomed the first spring then disappeared. Eventually a few showed up here and there, and now continue to bloom and multiply in out of the way corners mostly where they get the least care. They are blooming now and a nice color if not a 'floral display'. They ended up a nice, modest surprise here and there in generally drier/good drainage parts of the garden that get well baked in summer. They are cheap enough that it is easy to try them around the garden and see what survives. Best Jim W. -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd.
