It's impossible to get those around here; the only ones available here are C. powelli and somethimes C. moorei Their flowers are nice, but the foliage is a whole different thing; so strappy and ugly while those of the aforementioned are upright; that's why I want those. Do you perhaps know of someone in the US who would want to ship some bulbs trans Atlantic Jo Ann?

Also the Pancratium is a pain in the butt to get a hold off (somethimes they offer P. maritimum, but it's less hardy and it flowers before the foliage emerges and that's not really pretty to me). P. illyricum is endemic on a few islands in the Mediterranean and quite rare indeed, so only could find two dealers in Europe. One in Ireland (way too pricy, like 53 pounds for one bulb ) and the other in France where I placed my order yesterday.
