Wow! Waterlily is a stunner! I've been meaning to acquire that one, gotta go on the top of my list.

Sadly I didn't get any photos of the colchicum this year, I was having camera/device issues at the time. I divided Giant last year and the 3 original bulbs yielded 28 bulbs! I put groups of them in 3 areas and they were really showy this year. I found it interesting when I divided them that all the bulbs were big, no bulblets or offsets. I'm guessing the bulbs get larger until they split into 2 mature bulbs?

I was surprised to see a bud emerging from Dick Trotter, last year it was a no show and I was convinced it was dead. I'll be sure to get a photo when it blooms.
