Hello all, Hedychium coronarium is blooming now. The scent reminds very much a Gardenia. http://s1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb341/… http://s1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb341/… http://s1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb341/… Greetings from Gythio, Greece, Antigoni Απο: James Waddick <jwaddick@kc.rr.com> Προς: Pacific Bulb Society <pbs@lists.ibiblio.org> Στάλθηκε: 11:43 μ.μ.

Dear Mary Sue and all, How interesting that in our distant gardens we share a single blooming bulb: some Cyrtanthus elatus x montanus or similar hybrid. I don't recall where my bulbs came from , they might have originated form you via the BX years ago. I have a large pot with bright scarlet re-orange flowers. It is decorating the deck right now. Otherwise nothing to compare. I did find a single bloom on Cyclamen purpurescens (from Ellen years ago). What a diversity of bulb interests. Thanks Jim W. -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd.
