Most if not all of the Gilmar bulbs were commercially grown in South America (most probably in feilds)so I am not surprised if they were already infected while being produced Kristi. I can self pollinate one of the flowers if ya'll want some seeds. Gilmar is very fertile and is one that I consider "universal" successfully crossing with both tetraploids and diploids.

Kristi, I'm sorry but I've lost records of this plant. I believe it's a cross between Exotica and something :) Here's another photo of it taken today. Xuan

It's Christmas morning here in Italy. Merry Christmas to all on the forum, or Happy Holidays as the case may be, and may we have the fortitude to face events in 2021, and the grace to appreciate all the good that comes our way! This forum is a good place: thanks to you all. Jeri, I hope your weather has improved. Ours is changing from bad to awful, but at least we're having a winter, while the house is warm and bright and the pantry full.

@Christopher CNC, absolutely agree with your observations on extreme weather swings that are becoming the norm. It’s truly frightening when one ponders the causes and the not so long term effects which seem to be more evident with each passing season. On a cheerier note, your full moon snow garden appreciation made me smile. Because we in the PNW have been enjoying several days of clear night skies, daytime sun & frosty mornings with daytime highs only in low 40’s, I’ve been able to enjoy seeing that full moon illuminating my little yard while seeing it in early evening peeking through the giant fir trees on the adjacent acreage East of me as it rises. Forecast is for increasing cloudiness today so no more viewing tonight & we’ll be warming back up from daytime low 40’s to balmy low 50’s later this week.
