I got this plant from a co-op on Davesgarden and I am exhilirated with it, now that it has opened up it's bloom in my greenhouse in zone 6b. It will have 3 flowers. I have tried to pollenate it, in the hopes it will develop seeds, but time will tell. The bloom is large for the size of the bulb and quite beautiful. It crowded the pot for me in 1 year and bloomed. What more could you ask for?
