I wrote that post on Ixiolirion before looking at Mark's photos and reading the text on the wiki. Some of what I wrote duplicates what Mark placed on the wiki - great minds.... Now that I've seen the photos, I'll say that Mark seems to have a much better colored form than any I've had in the past. As I've seen them, they are more magenta than blue. Catalogs always show them as blue, which would be very nice if true. Or are there good blue forms out there? Jim McKenney
