RE: Ornithogalum magnum

Dear All (especially Kitty),

Kitty was kind enough to send me some bulbs of ornithogalum magnum that
arrived today!  How I wish I could attend her MG's bulb sale! The bulbs were
bagged and labeled with a description, instructions and even a large photo.
All in all, it is a very professional looking product!  And, you should have
seen the package that the bulbs were shipped in.  The three stamps depicted
a woodland scene with ferns, salamanders, birds, butterflies, etc.  She even
made a coordinating mailing label!  It was like receiving a most precious
jewel!  I will be thinking of you Kitty when my snake flowers bloom this
spring!

Fond regards to all,

Probably sold out because the price was so good this year.  O. magnum was
high last year.  2004: 50 for $62.75.  2005: 50 for $46.25.  After shipping
that's just a bit over $1 a bulb, so we sold them for $2 each.They sold fast
when I had them several years ago, but then I attached a dried flowerhead to
the display.  I wasn't able to do that this time and they didn't seem to
attract as much attention.  Hyacinths went up so much this year that I
didn't get any at all.
