But I have a prior commitment for that date. :( I'd rather go to RoseDango, but it's something I can't get out of. Your large squill should do well. I have a large one, and it blooms every year without fail so far. In fact, I think it needs to be divided, but I've heard it won't bloom the first year after doing that, so HolleyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892421871044249940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7485248345006754419.post-6529514192559438982014-02-21T11:54:28.825-08:002014-02-21T11:54:28.825-08:00One of my favourite early spring flowers.

My hyacinths and snowbells are currently covered in 6inches of unexpected Portland snow.
