Oh to be able to grow them at all. My seedlings are still tiny after several years and all the mature bulbs I have ever bought have not survived the switch from southern hemisphere timing  :(

Really well done Fred and it inspires me to keep trying!

Angie,

I agree with you, it's very nice to be able to grow outdoor, but not in Vienne.... ;)
I took this pictures in Israël, in a very kind forumist's garden  ;D ;D ;D 8)
