Judy mentioned the clumps of bulbs she was finding in her garden. On the same day I happened to find this image of a clump of blooming bulbs. It's in Karl Foerster's Der Steingarten der sieben Jahrezeiten (The rock garden of the seven seasons) which was published in 1936. Some of you might enjoy this. See the attached image. The text which accompanies the image reads "Among all colchicums Colchicum autumnale minor as an old plant forms the thickest bloom cushions The plant pictured is eighteen years old."Jim McKenney -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
