Oh, well, I'd say if you could succeed in having them, that they'd be marvelous.
I would start with some of the Aleems, only because they're really a lot easier.
The first thing to do is to, if you're getting these, you probably already like bulbs.
And the second thing that I think is particularly, it's like a little bonus for these ephemeral, these spring ephemerals, ones that are out in the spring and then they disappear.
It's an interesting plant to think about putting within that first five feet of your house that you want to have be very fire safe and not have plant parts that could catch on fire.
