    Panizzianus is a $25 bulb and quite rare.Division 13 ww- miniature.Also known as paper white minor. I now have about 10, and entered this bloom in the show, for the sake of the public being able to view it. In my case, I'm lucky to be able to swap rare lilium bulbs, for rare narcissus miniature bulbs [The old system]
