This bulb, one of the easiest to grow, has been in bloom here for many weeks this spring. The color is bright red. Today, I noticed a young plant in bloom with a buff-orange color. It's attractive. How often do we get color variants with this species. I've grown it for years and it pops up here and there slowly forming handsome clumps, but this is the first time I've seen a color variant. Delighted! Andrew San Diego
