I grew up in Philly (Pa.) and then lived in Buffalo (N.Y.). I soooo loved the spring bulbs. I remember crocus blooming in the snow Since moving to Fl. in 1978 I have missed the spring blooms that I grew up with. Does anyone know, is there a source that is "aclimated" for lack of a better term, to this area. I have tried daffs, tulips, hyacynth (SP) and others, but no real luck....blooms the FIRST year and then nothing but green leaves. Even the crinums let me down this year. And please don't suggest pulling them and putting them in the fridge to stratify...not gonna happen. TIA
