Jim to Jim (we can only hope Waddick chimes in) My seed-raised C. autumnale (from Monocot seed) is a poor weak thing but it does bloom at the same time as C. a. album and C. a. 'Nancy Lindsay' (from Odyssey bulbs), namely, the last 3 weeks in September. That last is proving to be an excellent, showy plant, whatever its heritage. Jim Jones
