I may have gotten the original bulbs as C. speciosum from Jung Seed Co.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, that's about right!

We saw a lovely photo of yours at the Discussion Weekend, Lori - in Stephanie Ferguson's presentation of course.   Suddenly felt like  you were right there with us!

[Lori S.]

Absolutely stunning, Gene! 

I'm sure Stephanie's presentation was amazing - her garden certain is! 
She'd asked if I had any scenery photos a while back, looking for some natural "crevice gardens"... I can only imagine that's how a photo of mine might have got in there.

Oh how i wish I could have seen Stephanie's presentation … after visiting her unique and magnificent garden (and Lori's equally beautiful domain, both in Calgary), we were simply stunned by the quality, diversity and breadth of the planting. Master gardeners both.

[Maggi Young]

Yes Lori, that's what it was.
It was a great presentation, Cliff, most instructive.
It seems to me that Canada is something of a hotbed of good  and imaginative gardeners and these Calgary "Gals" are in the vanguard for sure.
