| Hi,
I have two more bulbs blooming from my heist at the nearby nursery. The Evergreen is astounding and I absolutely love it!! It has 7 flowers on the first scape although I don't know if they all come out together before the first starts to deteriorate..do they? Anyway, I just love it! The second one was bought as "Pink" Nymph..I think from pictures I've seen of Pink Nymph that it is a darker pink double. Well, anyway I got "Sweet" Nymph instead..went through #&!! last year to get one and now I get one in a mislabel the very next year!! Someone must be flooding the market with these..at first I though it might be the ubiquitous Lady Jane that pops up everywhere. I do like the color of Sweet Nymph, but the flower does leave a bit to be desired..very messy and with all those filaments with pollen sticking out here and there willy-nilly..not the best double..they should have left this one on the drawing board a bit longer..(IMHO) I still have the one from last year and it's doing fine, maybe when it flowers again it will be a bit more refined..but as I say, the color is great!
looks like an explosion went off (didn't dare to use the "B" word)
Guess I won't have to worry about anyone "stealing" my Sweet Nymph pictures will I...Thanks for looking, Oh and by the way, I bought two Pink Nymphs from two different distributors at this nursery..both bulbs looked entirely different so that's why I took the chance and bought them both..so all is not lost yet...

| I just had to add.. looking at those pictures again, poor Evergreen standing tall and proud..standing next to his messy girlfriend who forgot to comb her hair this morning..... |

| Ya know....Sweet Nymph was fantastic in Holland....! I know that they select their best blooms for the show, but they apparently misrepresented the bulb altogether! Let's see how ours repeat in the spring. |

| She is a mess, huh? It seems that SN never looks good.. I just googled her, the only pictures that she doesn't look crazy in is the pictures used to sell her. Maybe she gets better as she gets older? |

| Now come on Josh...she was radiant in the first photos I posted of her from the show in Holland...everyone drooled over those!! Hey...wonder if they plucked the "stray" anthers...that would explain part of it. :-p K   Here's another little mini to make listers drool...not yet being sold (NOT FAIR!!): |

| I still think she looks messy in those pics but NOT as messy ;) I'm just not happy with her, I think the coloring is incredible and that must be why they sell her. |

| Beautiful blooms, Donna. Thanks for sharing. I love both Evergreen and Sweet nymph. They are breathtaking. Xuan |
|
| Ooooh! I have an "Evergreen" about to bloom! Picture shortly! |
|
| If you haven't yet bloomed an Evergreen as I hadn't you're just gonna love her!!
She's the same color as a Honeydew melon!!
This is the last picture I will bore you with, I just pulled off all her pollen and dabbed a little on..
