[Fwd: BIG BULB NEWS]

[Shawne Penwell]

I have received several different A's in my "test Garden"  to grow until
identification can be made.   All are from Chen Yi...and all seem to be doing
very well.
I have A. rhombiforme, tri-foliate(triphyllum), Sp. #1(fragrant), bathycileum,
candidissimum(both red and pink), taiwanense, reymondiae(sp?) ,consanguineum,
franchetianum, sikkokianum, and tortuosum. As they grow I will leave it to the
experts to identify. All are together and doing well. My question is will they
cross-pollinate and produce yet another form?
