Hi Fred: I would approach Gagea with the caution. They are widespread in the Caucasus and those populations were very weedy once they migrated to cultivated conditions at the St. Petersburg Botanical Garden as per a personal communication from Dr. Tatyana Shulkina. Tatyana was the curator of their living collections for many years.
