Hey, Cindee! It's so good to see you posting! I'm glad you're feeling well enough to show off your awesome Clown! I loved it last bloom season, and I know it'll be gorgeous this time around, too!

I wish I had something in bloom... I'd send you some pollen. Nothing I have is even budding, but I will say that all the seedlings you sent are doing very well!

I can't wait to see Clown in full bloom again!

All I have is a "Red Lion" right now - how's that for hohum? If that works for you though, let me know.

Cindee, I have Ludwig's Dazzler and Blossom Peacock in bloom right now. Don't know if BP has any pollen, though. If this will help, please let me know.

BTW, if they are blooming now, does this mean they won't bloom during the winter? I put them all outside, except for three that never got roots, and Pink Floyd, who just got his roots. At this point, I feel everyone should have roots, so think I'll contact the companies they came from for replacements. Also, my Clown bulb is doing strange things and growing all little bulblets (up through the center of the bulb), but the main bulb is junk.

Cindee! So glad to see you back, I hope you're doing fantastic. Been really busy straightening out my garden here, but I've been doing a quick check to see when you returned. I have some pollen, ludwig dazzler and possibly hercules but it was never refrigerated. If you think it's still viable I'll send it on, it's from early spring flowers.

Kitty, those bulblets up throught the center of the bulb may be due to narcissus bulb fly, that is exactly what happened to an affected papillio. I appeared as if the bulb split in two. Each bulblet is growing but there was a horrid large maggot in the base of the bulb this past spring. I'd keep it isolated until you divide to make sure no fly comes out of it.

Hello, Hello!!

Just wait till the rest of my blooms open!!

Ooh! Pretty! I love the first photo! I find the backs of the flowers almost as interesting as the fronts!

Cindee, I'm so glad to see you up and about again!

Thanks Xuan! The nurse and PE gave up on me yesterday and announced I do not need them anymore...that was when they arrived as I was trimming the front shrubs. LOL!!

Here you all go, more blooms waking up...

Just beautiful, Cindee! I sure wish some of my bulbs would decide to bloom now... but I doubt any will. Maybe next year... when they can enjoy the conditions of the greenhouse... if it finally gets put up!

Get yourself a Clown Jodi! I don't know if it is true of all of them, but this is my 2nd year with it in bloom July/Aug.

Clown is on my list of wants for this fall... I hope I can get one!
