These bulbs produce flowers unlike anything I have been able to find on the internet...even our own database here at Dave's. I am going to try to get a picture to post just as soon as I can.
They're a reddish color with spikey colored petals. They are native to this area and are nearly impossible to buy at nurseries anymore, or so I've been told.
Due to resourcefulness, prayer and a lot of phone calls, I was given permission to dig up a bunch of these bulbs at a property that is currently under development.
These flowers do not bloom in the springtime, only in the fall. There is no foliage, just the stem and flower. I'm in zone 8, so don't know how they'd do anywhere else.
My hard work is everyone's gain. If you want some bulbs, let me know. I'd prefer to trade, but I'll do SASE if you are new and/or don't have much.
For trades, I could use solomon's seal, pachysandra, hostas (named or unnamed), tulip bulbs (prefer white or pastels), and/or phlox (groundcover type). If none of those work, I have another thing I'm looking for, strange though it may sound, and that's currency and/or coins from other countries. I'm using it to teach my 9 year old. We have 8 or so countries, so far.
Ok, I'll hush now. Thanks so much.
