  • Posted by jmorth (central Illinois) on Sep 8, 2015 10:53 AM concerning plant:
    Another single jonquil, with the same great fragrance, tiny yellow flowers, and wildflowery vigor of our “Early Louisiana” — but it blooms two weeks later, extending the delicious pleasure. “Rustled” from an old Texas homesite, this strain shows a lot of variability. 13 Y-Y, 10”, zones 6-8S/10WC, from Texas.
