I love this species too. this year two bulbs in the same pot bloomed together, with about ten or twelve flowers in all. However, all kinds of crises developed in the week or so they were in bloom (not bulb related) and I missed getting a picture. I was SO sorry, they have never looked so good. I should say here about this species that it took a long time to mature and bloom. I got the bulbs as small seedling bulbs, and I waited nine years for them to bloom. It has such a long dormancy (like H. argentinum).. Do other people grow this in their gardens? Where? Diana > I love seeing H. parodii in other peoples gardens.
