thx, Rick, didn't realize the peruvian squill were tender! Wonder how they'd look displayed with amaryllis...
I'd take 5 (at the higher price) or 15 (at the ADR price) 'Purple Bird' Corydalis, but I've tried without success also. I have not tried in my rock garden (made of spent potting soil and chicken grit) or in the fence row (woodland soil), so either place may be better.
