Wow Kim. Wonderful. And yes, I did divide my turks. Actually, what I do is dig them, pop in some nasturtiums and then put the bulbs them back in fall. But several times I have missed a few and they come back anyway. The interesting thing about turkestanica is that it propagates by sending out what looks like a thick strand of thread, and on the other end is a bulb. Since that section of the yard has prairie dropseed, I don't water it much. Here is what the same section looks like in the summer.

I also grow the Greigii Pinnochio.

It really pops, and because it's near species, when I dig it up it has always produced extra bulbs.
