Welcome to Peru
The Peruvian daffodils are back! This was the first year they wintered-over (indoors).
The blooms are definitely not proportional to the size of the bulbs.
But they range in height from 24" to 32"

Peruvian Daffodils
After wintering-over in the laundry room, the Peruvian daffodils were planted less than a week ago. Without the threat of a late freeze, they are growing full-force now. Intermixed with the peruvians are some lycoris -something new for this year. The chosen planting area is small -only 4x6 feet, but that should hold all of the bulbs and their offspring for the next few years. Soon thereafter, CG will begin trading them for non-purple iris.
Louisiana Iris
Bold Pretender
These are just starting in the front River Birch planting area.
Last year, there were over two dozen blooms.
They are undoubtedly the highlight of all the blooms in the front yard.
CG has more of these planted in the back bog bed.
Maybe less than a week away from full, bold color.
