Jim,

They are all beautiful! You were so lucky to get the actual bulbs for Merengue and Rosario. I got LaPango for each! My Pj Party was rotten...at least I can admire your blooms!

Kristi, this is my "Jewel of the Night" (Not!) It could be Pina Colada???? My Muscadet was rotten, my Kahula refuses to send up a scape, but has 4 tiny leaves on a tiny bulb. And to add insult to injury, my "Torrone"s (sp?) were so infested with mites that they are still in isolation. One is finally sending up a rather pathetic twisted scape. Not a good year for me either with RC.

Jim, I actually had worse luck, as a %, from other sellers. One order from CT of 6 bulbs was 100% mislabeled or rotten, another smaller order of 2 was 100% mislabeled. I ordered nearly 30 bulbs from RC and had a few problems with a couple rotten bulbs and 4 mislabeled (want some LaPango?). I think that this year they expanded their circle of suppliers to offer some special bulbs. I believe we have seen the last of these sorts of offers and next year will be standard offerings with few specials. Unfortunately, RC depends on their suppliers for quality and the correct id. I've really not seen a year like this before! I hope to not see another one ever again!

I think your yellow could be H554. My Pina Colada was nearly fluorescent!

All gorgeous!!

Very beautiful!!

Very impressive pot'o'papilios, and the rest are beautiful too!

Beautiful sight, they look gorgeous!! Thank you for sharing.

In my order (that wasn't from RC) there were seven bulbs out of eight that were infested with what I think were bulb mites and I had to throw them away. Luckily I kept the lot separated from the rest of the bulbs. There's been some quality issues this winter for sure.
