that time of the year again…

When the tazettas start blooming in the coastal South, and the scads of distinct no-name flowers drive us to distraction yet again…
Occurred to me, that paperwhites particularly and possibly some of the bicolors were grown in southern France and Italy commercially for an awfully long time, and that’s were American commercial farmers ordered their stock from from the early 1900s on til World War II.
Does anyone know of any French/Italian commercial catalogs -?
Thanks muchly~

  1. Henry- good to see you are still on this list,
    I would think Sarah is interested in the named
    varieties which have not been available here
    for many years- do you know of any gardens
    or nurseries who claim to have some of the
    old dutch hybrids from before the war?
