Re: glads or crocosmias

Judy, thanks.  It looks like I have the glads and crocosmia covered.  I
don't believe Plumerias are geophytes, but a tuberose would be nice.  I'm
trying to keep the costs down, so if your friend can find a dormant
tuberose - not potted - for a few dollars, I can spring for that and the
postage.
