I need to label each bulb so I know whether I want to keep them or not. I keep the label industry working!

So many beauties there Anne.

In particular I like the leftmost one of the Candlepower x K1 set.  Is it pure white or cream?

What a sweet thing 'Fairy Gold' is Mark. Cyclamineus parentage clearly? Reminiscent of 'February Gold', but I assume much smaller, hence the name?

I don't know the parents and unfortunately the breeder is no longer alive. I will go outside and measure it
