    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Bulbs are officially 24-26 cm around. This was the approximate size at harvest time, but normally the bulbs shrink in storage. I would describe the bulbs the size of a base ball. There is some variation with each variety, and actual size depends on the harvest each year.
