It's a great plant and multiplies readily under the right conditions. They always seem a surprise when they show up here too. My magenta ones have already bloomed but the yellow ones in another bed have yet to show up - last year, I think their timing was the opposite so it appears they like to keep the gardener off-balance.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315847063483821430.post-42001463532893075182016-04-02T10:56:06.884-07:002016-04-02T10:56:06.884-07:00A lovely surprise indeed Amy!

I love trying the different bulbs and I have learned of so many new ones to try from your efforts.
