Paul Thank You for the kind words This was the 1st year that Adriatic Waves looked really good here it has been growing fine but just never bloomed like that so I was thrilled when it put on a show this year unfortunately it was one of the clumps that the scorch got to I was able to save a few bulbs and bought a couple more to replace what was lost I hope it blooms next year.
Mary Ann these pictures are a mix from my gardens, Schreiners and Kieths garden this spring and I agree with Lucy if you can buy the bulb from the grower it is well worth the extra money spent ,you will get great quality and it will be true to name. Most of the time when I think I am going to save money buying it for less somewhere else I regret the decision this summer I bought 1 bulb of Monmarte from Joe Ghio and 3 from another online source and they both arrived at the same time and the 1 bulb from Ghio was bigger than the other 3 combined and his was dug fresh and rooted in a week the others are still just sitting there trying to decide if they want to live. If you need prices from Kieth send me a tree mail of what your after and Ill look them up for you in the catalog and send you his contact info.
