"/Hyacinthus tabrizianus. /Native of Persia, it is one of the rarest
plants in cultivation, a single bulb being worth 50 new pence. It grows
only 3 in (7.5 cm) tall and blooms in March, the tiny bell-shaped blooms
being white, shaded with palest blue and they are deliciously scented."

Dear Judy and all,
Dix Wholesale catalog for Fall 2007 lists:
Hyacinthus tabrizzianus, white, tips turquoise blue 16/17
cm 10 bulbs for 29 E

Note spelling with 2 'z' sNo other description and by far
their most expensive hyacinth. So it must be around.
Neither of the others listed.

Best Jim W.
