Steve, I think yours may be Marjorie Hine after all. That orange edge is missing, maybe it will color up as it blooms. But after looking at my other possible thought which was 'Slim Whitman' I think it OHG most likely sent you the correct one as 'Slim' doesn't seem right either. My picture shows Slim's yellow to be more orangish and to have less of a ruffle.

BUT as 'Sound' is similar, and blooms earlier than 'Marj Hine', you may find that this is 'Sound' and 'Marjorie Hine' is yet to strut her stuff. I love the mystery.

But no mystery about growing Chionodoxa up here. I grow 'Giant Blue' and am trying a few others this spring. 'Pink Giant' and 'violet beauty' as well as a Chionodoxa sardensis which is called Lesser-Glory-of Snow. But the one called 'Blue Giant' or 'Giant Blue' is a lovely thing dancing among the last of the snowdrops then greeting the crocus and early daffs. Maybe they need more cold. They are getting that today in spades up here! Ugly day.

Daffseek is such a great tool. Keep the pictures coming. Patti
