February Gold (?) blooming now

Hi Robin,

Telos Rare Bulbs lists L.aloides (sp?) as available.  As for the boring Narcissus ... I find it exciting!  Reminds me of glorious spring sites from when I lived in more Northern climes.  We can't grow everything ... tried for years to coax a bloom from an heirloom Peony by dumping bags of ice on it in the winter ... but no such luck.  Also ... enjoy the fact that salt water doesn't come out of your tap as it does here.

the second one is as exciting as the first is boring ... do you know where in this country i can buy any of the bulbs - the Lachenalia alooides - that is??
