    Shame, they're exceptionally dependable, but fade way before the heat starts, more than likely they require the frost period. - but you guys in Az have a lot of plants and cacti which I can only admire from afar as well, I have a collection of about 50 cacti & succulents which I keep under lights, tiny in size compared to what you can grow in Arizona!

    - Thanks locakelly!

    Yes, they are very showy, PedricksCorner, more substantial than snowdrops, they break ground here while the temps are in the low to mid 40°s during the daytime, taking overnight lows into the low 30's at night.

    - Thanks Kell, I'll put a few more pics up next spring, (my aim is always to top the last one!)
    well at least I have fun trying...☺
