Royal Colors has certainly been on a roll with the novel offerings. Two that grabbed my attention this season did so for the same reason. In trying to verify their names, no registry information could be found for either. Emaryllis loves a …
Emaryllis shells out a fair amount each season to attempt to get as many newly available varieties into the photo gallery as possible. But sometimes things don’t go perfectly. Case in point: ‘Tutti Frutti’. While the one and …
Reading Emaryllis.com posts can be a bummer sometimes. Often new varieties are added each season with suitable fanfare, but much of the time the news is of the latest mislabeling fiasco. Not today folks! We now take a break from …
