And, I found two of these beauties growing. Now, I do get volunteers, but after 15 years, I know the seeds I have sown. Yada yada yada. How did I get these?

I'm also glad to know I'm not the only one who not only forgets something she ordered, but also forgets planting it:)Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-70867419387412477422011-06-07T06:44:05.280-04:002011-06-07T06:44:05.280-04:00Interesting, Carol!

I actually lost most of them the second winter, but one lone bulb keeps coming up and blooming each spring. I told Romie that I'm buying more this fall, because I love its yellow stars that follow the Chionodoxas in the same location.Kylee Baumlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288354709094515651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-90766216345970396152011-06-07T06:37:22.045-04:002011-06-07T06:37:22.045-04:00I have 'Rudy' too!

And I didn't know about the family issues, but I do know you can buy other Triteleias under Brodiaea in some catalogs. Then there are the Dichelostemmas...Erica Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02413194227635734992noreply@blogger.com
