What a good clump, how old are they Siris?

Very nice, I mine arent quite out yet. I've had mine a couple of years DD, they soon get going. I know a certain online company abbreviated to JP's, doesn't always get excellent reviews but personally I've found their bulbs to be good, that's where mine were from. HB, they will be available to order from this co. around Aug.

Trying to think where I got the original bulb, long time ago. I do know I got the white one (not open yet) from a neighbour who got it from said JP, (she only buys bulbs from them).
When it is fully open it looks a picture next to a magenta Azalea.

They are highlighted on Gardener's World.

I have the variegated variety, but they are so slow!!

Never seen a variegated one, foliage doesn't feed the plant as well as plain green.

Oh really, thanks for that, you live and learn.......the flowers are still not out, even after the warmth of the weekend.....
