Roland and Marek, Thanks for the id Roland. Not all my bulbs are special. In fact, most of my bulb garden is legacy bulbs. Leucojum aestivum is one of those "legacy bulbs": grows itself with zero care, multiplies, never needs thinning, unappealing to gophers, tolerates frost, yet it is every bit as pretty as the hard-to-grow or rare bulbs. Here are the flowers closer up: Jan 7th http://flickr.com/photos/gastils_garden/… Jan 2nd http://flickr.com/photos/gastils_garden/… - gastil listening to rain
