Re: Gene's Catalogue & Hort.net Pictures

Hello Kitty,
    If you enjoy the color yellow in Tricyrtis, did you see the listing for
T. latifolia, the early toadlily? Blooms the last of June beginning of July.
Earliest blooming I am aware of. The yellow is quiet with brown spots, but
nice up close. Great detail in the petals. Easy to place in the garden. Not
fussy.
    Attended a slide presentation over in Louisville last evening. Two hours
of shrubs and trees in bloom. All the newest and greatest for the Kentucky &
Indiana area. Given by a wholesaler up in northern Ohio. Going to be big
trouble with the wallet come spring if I locate some of these beauties.....
    Here we go again.....
