DearFreinds, I've grown L. aestivum for ages. I just noticed a first flower on bulbs purchased as 'Gravetye Giant'. I bought bulbs with this name specifically to compare it to the old unnamed variety grown and seeding around. I can see no difference. I understand that there is a cv with yellow spots replacing the green at the distal tips of each petal. Does such a cv exist ? and what is it called? Are there any other cultivars or un-name variants available in cultivation or from collectors? Both spring species (this and vernum) do very nicely here with a minimum of care so I am alwasy curious about variations on a these if it might suceed in my climate. So does anyone grow other spring flowering hardy Leucojum sp or cv? Thanks Jim W. -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd.
