A beauty, Alex... these white flowers are so lovely... I hope you've had your nose in there for a sniff of the  scent?

I've got another form which I've had for at least 4 years but which is only now flowering - it seems to be better shaped, but reluctant to open properly!

My single bulb has wider petals and does open fully and I endorse Maggi's hope that you've sniffed it Alex. It is delicious. :)

So do I Lesley. This lot started as a single bulb 16 years ago.

Thanks Kris. Try heavy feeding with high potash fertilizer + hot & dry during summer.
