Hi Neal,
This is the first bulb to bloom for me this year in March. It was in the fridge for about 5 months.

Erythronium sibiricum subsp.altaicum

And guess what?? The Blue Cohosh you sent many years ago is emerging! Hurray!

Ummmm the leaves you mean? This is the smallest tulip species I've ever seen! I didn't realize they were that small (rock garden size)

I love Topolino! I think I've got some of those.

Kim, yes, the foliage on the Tulip looks variegated in that pic. Is it? I've never seen a variegated form- I've got regular T.turkestanica, they're so sweet!

This is in my greenhouse, I wasn't sure what it was when I bought it, it was a bulb with short leaves in a clay pot. I was hoping for something exotic. Oh well, it's pretty, I guess. It's a very, very dark red, and way down in the throat there's a tiny bit of white.

This is sort of a bulb- It is one of my most favorite plant- Sinningia leucotricha common name is Brazilian edelweiss, I think.

The leaves are so soft! It flowers very easily for me but I've never gotten seed. Glare

Here is another little bulb in bloom, Crytanthus mackenii, common name Ifafa lily. Tiny little flowers.
