Jane, thank you very much! This is exactly the kind of first-hand information I was looking for. Most websites and books say that these begin to bloom from year 5 to 7, but mine are right at 3 or 4, so it is helpful to know that this one probably came from seed and I haven't gone insane by planting a single purple bulb that I don't remember. :) Thank you! _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… Unsubscribe: <mailto:pbs-unsubscribe@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net>
