It's back! Eighteen years ago this elegant beauty was featured in a Garden Design article about a tiny new source devoted to heirloom bulbs and suddenly we weren't so tiny anymore. Well-described in the 1931 Scheepers catalog as "rose-pink with topaz lights and hints of fuchsia shadowing," it was lost to us in 2002 when the last Dutch farmer quit growing it. Finally this spring the Hortus Bulborum offered us a handful of bulbs, and we're thrilled to share them with you! S. Late/Darwin, 18-22", z. 4a-7b(8aWC).
