Erin:

Thanks for the confirmation that it does happen occasionally. I hope others
will speak up about interspecific hybrids with Z. atamasco

I have not seen Z. atamasco hybrids- although I would love to see more

however here in SW Georgia I have in the past seen sporadic fall blooms some
years among the natives. Not necessarily in the larger stands of Z.
atamasco, more a happy surprise one or two on the side of a road where least
expected. This year has been so painfully dry that I would be shocked to see
any- blooms have been low on even my most dependable summer bulbs.

the creek is dry, the pond half empty, and no rain in sight with temps in
the high 90's tomorrow On Mon, Sep 20, 2010 at 1:25 PM, Tony Avent
