Jim,

Have you ever heard of using an extract of tuberose as a flavoring?

tuberosa is blooming in profusion. Both of these seem to
like regular summer rain." Yes, Polianthes tuberosa
thrives in wet soil when it is in active growth. And
hasn't Jim Waddick mentioned seeing Lycoris growing on
the dykes of rice paddies in China? Polianthes tuberosa,
which is known only as a cultivated plant, was one of the
plants grown by the Aztecs on their floating gardens near
Mexico City. After reading about that, I tried tuberoses in
pots standing in water at the edge of a pond - they did very
well.
Jim McKenneyMontgomery County,
Maryland, USA, USDA zone7, where the garden was recently a
pond from all the rain.
