Aha!  That's yet another reference to interest in snowies Maggi.  You're going to get a reputation if you're not careful.  We might start disbelieving the "Seen one, seen em all!" comments?  :o

It is lovely isn't it Paul, from the garden of Lady Beatrix Stanley originally and has the synonym 'No Mark' which is quite apt. 
And that's not just what you said to Mr Smyth when he asked if you had one to spare?? ;D

Ah, so they ARE here in Australia then.  I hadn't heard of anyone growing the poculiformis.  A bulb some year would be wonderful Otto.  Thank you!!
