In Norwalk, Connecticut, zone 6, I had Crocus longiflorus outdoors, had no
idea it was not supposed to be hardy so perhaps dumb luck since it grew just
fine.

And in Wilton, Connecticut, zone 6 but colder since further inland from Long
Island Sound, I had Amaryllis belladonna in the garden. It flowered reliably
every year. That time I knew it was pushing my luck, gambled, and won.
