Margaret,
I should have told you that anything can and does come out of a seed. It is new life and you can get something that nobody else has. So good for you. Besides, any body can buy a big bulb that will grow on a rock and bloom like crazy. At least the first time. Few can and do what you are doing.
No it wasn't hired help. It was my neibors and my wife tring to do me a favor. They loved the suprise look on my face when I pulled into the driveway.
Still no big deal. It was the thought that counts.
