Hi Everyone, Some Oldies but Goodies are now blooming for me, some of these bulbs I have had for close to 10 years and they never disappoint!! Of course, Apple Blossom, I'm sure everyone has one of these, mine bloomed a deeper pink this year than ever before and she's fragrant also.... From FLAMING PEACOCK and Amsterdam, came to me as a mislabel, but has proven to be very giving, one good trait of this one is that all 4 four flowers are now out at one time, for a bouquet effect. From FLAMING PEACOCK and Blossom Peacock, has been disappointing in that the color is pale, the first year I had this gorgeous 4 flower bloom all at once and since then the color has gone down hill. Is a very good multiplier though and who can argue with that fragrance........... From FLAMING PEACOCK and of course Lady Jane, somehow I ended up with another this year under the name of Madrid, and now I have 3, but it would be hard to part with one of these...From FLAMING PEACOCK and my beautiful Noid Pink that I am putting Papilio pollen on and crossing my fingers as I can just envision this color with burgundy stripes and the butterfly shape.... From FLAMING PEACOCK and Elvas which doesn't do well for me, have had 2 bulbs for several years and the flowers are always small and the stems are always short but she takes a good picture...... From FLAMING PEACOCK Maria, your greens are beautiful and Blanca, looking forward to seeing pictures when yours begin to bloom especially the Maguires, and Kristi thank you for all your work making your beautiful pictures available to us all.

Soulton - Nice going. So Madrid is a newer variety which rules it out. Thanks! Here are pictures of three "Lady Jane" (we hope). They're all different. Two of the bulbs came back from 2000, but are now in separate pots (one on left just opened) -- and they are all different looking! The one on the right is the original post. The shorter one is one I purchased this year from Wayside. I would expect in another year it will also be taller with fluffier petals. Notice the differences! While we're at it, here's another back from the almost dead, which has not bloomed since 2000. It was labeled Carina (a miniature) at the time. It's on the right of Supreme Garden. It is darker than S.G. and has ridges. I have done quite a bit of on-line research on the first two and agree with the red one being Unique and the other Rozetta. Thanks so much for that. Going to go label them now. Thanks so much for all your efforts. By the way, my WebShots is open to all -- just look for Kitty747.

Not H. Lady Jane and H. Madrid looks much the same. I think it's H. Zombie. Do a Google image search and your should be able to reach a conclusion. K

Mrbrownthumb...That's a very nice pic. Very pro... What's that background you used? And what variety is that? After taking pics of my now 150 plus varieties' flowers for 2 years, I got bored of the usual front, side and close-up shots. They started to look like catalogue pics for me. One reason why I decided to try other backgrounds. It is more challenging, creative and expressive for me of how I see the particular flower giving it a meaning, a purpose, an identity...
