I started with several large plantings of montbretia (orange) which grows wild in Devon and Cornwall and is about 3ft high. They both grow from corms and are vigorous spreaders. I also have c. Lucifer (red) which is almost as tall and 2 smaller varieties one orange and one yellow.Ruta M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05722121700213642012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9162753350039118369.post-64473629014680746752010-08-27T13:41:18.115-07:002010-08-27T13:41:18.115-07:00Lovely shot of the garden, Ruta!
