Re: BULB: won't be long..

No signs of danfordiae or reticulata here. I wonder if they've finally
given up. There were only a handful left last year. I guess I'll have to
get my iris fix in Oklahoma. Bearded iris are generally showing good
increase (SPIRIT WORLD has three so I won't have to nick it), some
siberians and species are emerging. No signs of the Japanese yet.
Pulsatilla vulgaris is putting on a great show -- 3-inch purple flowers
completely covering the clump and the lawn is covered with species crocus
and puschkinia. Bloom stalks are emerging on the daffodils and crocuses.
