    Have had this one since the 1990's. It originally came mail order from either Park's or its then sister company, Wayside. This is the easiest one to force that I have and always blooms first. The flowers are large; around 8 inches across. But in all the time I've had it, there have never been more than 2 blooms per flower stalk. The bulb multiplies vigorously by offsets.
