There are plenty of small growing blue flowered bulbs, so I'm not sure why this is astonishing, but it is.
I have grown (killed) it once before. It was very expensive and I greww it in a heated greenhouse because I was frightened
it might die. It did.
It has taken me a long time to get around to trying again. I'm not made of money (my Mother says I'm made of slugs and snails
and puppy dogs tails but that's anbother story). I bought this one last year at a significant discount when the nursery
stocking them failed to sell it in flower. It has responded well this time (it isn't difficult to grow) and this year
it has flowered.
