Dear Adam and all, The plants in the shade have formed a sod, square yards of it, but very few flowers. In the sun it is quite the opposite with most bulbs blooming larger and on taller stems. Really quite lovely now. I don't recall seed, but I'll pay attention this summer and collect any I find. Does anyone grow T sylvestris ssp australis ? This has a restricted distribution in around parts of the Mediterranean. The flowers are bright yellow, but backed by red/pink somewhat in the style of clusiana. The web pix look excellent - see http://jlcheype.free.fr/images/Fleurs/… and http://jlcheype.free.fr/images/Fleurs/… I'd love to get a few bulbs if anyone has this form or knows a dealer. It is apparently a rare item. Appreciate any suggestions. Thanks Jim W. -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd.
