==========================
John,
Do you think these plants have seeded themselves under the trees and
only the ones that could thrive in dry conditions remain? Or perhaps
they were originally planted there and watered heavily to become
established? Or have their bulbs pulled themselves down really
deep? (though you say the soil is shallow, so that can't be the
answer.)
I would like to be able to grow them. In addition to their visual
appeal, they are beautifully scented.
