Customers in San Antonio

Today I visited a customer in San Antonio, and three of the bulbs they purchased are blooming. I find it a little odd to see a jonquil (Narcissus jonquilla-the solid gold blooms) and a grand primo (Narcissus tazetta 'Grand Primo'-the white petal, yellow cup bloom that is not as star shaped as the italicus) blooming this time of year, but I am guessing that once they are lifted and replanted it will take them a year or two to get back in cycle. I recently visited Holland were many of their hyacinths are coming into full bloom and are spectacular--our blooms aren't that big. Their real value is in their ability to come back every year and form a clump that will soon give as much, if not more color than that of individual flowers.
