Hello Dell,
I would like to try my hand at growing the following;
Crocus pulchellus MT 4582 cormlets -- originally from Jane McGary BX
Muscari neglectum (small offsets)-- this increases rapidly, but makes up
for it in length of bloom
. Tulipa linifolia
Thanks to you and the generous donors!
Ronnalee in Wiarton, Ontario
