Nicely done on that bulb. I grow a lot of bulbs from seed also, and can really appreciate the time and effort you have put in there! Looks like it paid off with excellent form and blooms.

Actually, these are not too challenging from seed; the tiny "bulbs" form very soon after germination, and they start to bloom in the second or third year, if I remember correctly.

They are a bit more challenging in Houston, Texas ;)

Most people wouldn't believe they grow in zone 3 either ;)
