It seems to me that this is the first year in a long time where we
actually stand a good chance of having 4 seasons, at least here in
Iowa...for the past few years in my part of the state anyway, it seems
as if we've hardly had any spring...it's gone from a cold, miserable
winter straight to withering heat...then barely any fall before the
miserable cold sets in but the snow unusually late in coming. This year
we actually had a definable period of springtime weather and we are
enjoying the start of a beautiful fall season...it's been wonderful for
the most part, excepting of course the several weeks when we were in
desperate need of rain.

Bulbs and Brent & Beckys Bulbs. Odyssey has the larger selection

or C. autumnale 'Alboplenum' or<br>>C.a. 'Pleniflorum for contrast. Then
