I love seeing them growing in the grass! Can't do that here, but I've always thought they would be like summer crocuses.

Sondra, good save on the Byzantine glads! They multiply quickly, so it shouldn't take too long for them to clump up again. I have a little clump of them that came as a single corm that was in a bag of species tulips I planted. It was such a surprise, I hadn't noticed the difference in bulbs upon planting and noticed little glad leaves arise as the tulips were going dormant. A tiny, single Byzantine glad. That was about 7 years ago and here is how they looked last spring. Last fall I ran into the corms while planting other bulbs and spread them out more, so it will take them a year or two to clump up like this again.
