Readers of the old forum might remember my search for this elusive creature. Bulbs from many different sources had not turned out to be the right thing - see http://www.srgc.org.uk/discus/messages/321/23059.html
Last year I bought from 2 more nurseries and HALLELUJA!!! One is the real McCoy. So, the winner is......... :o

Rannveig Wallis! Well done, Rannveig.  ;D

David Nicholson:
Anne, maybe in my advancing years my eyesights going but could you tell me please what the differences are between the two varieties? They must be pretty subtle ???

annew:
It's in the shape of the corona - Julia Jane is supposed to be petunioid ie the 'skirt' opens out flat and even recurves. The dud had a much more conical corona.

Paddy Tobin:
Anne,

They both seem to be exactly the same to me, just two yellow things.

You should try growing some nice flowers for a change.

OK, 'Julia Jane' is very beautiful

Oh, revenge is sweet!

Paddy
