9. Is it a bulb or rhizome?

10. Does it bloom early in the spring? (I'm talking relative sequencing here. Daffodils don't come out until late March where I live.)

About how my cats would react to Battlestar Galactica....

feelingfeline

Back in a sec when I have consulted google re 9.

MusicLover

11. Did I mention it in question 7?

Loveroflife

Awww, precious.

9. Is it a bulb?

queenmomcat

(snorts of laughter, teasing) Aw, Lover, you didn't have to go so far as use the same number even.

feelingfeline

9. Google says it is a TRUE BULB.

10. Spring began in December here

(this is not a usual pattern so some of these flowers made the news in my part of the world and in the UK for being out in December!) Personally speaking my own have been out since Jan. Again this would be uncommon even in our milder temperate climate.

I would hazard that it is considered relatively early spring flowreing but probably should double check with Google, will correct if wrong.

feelingfeline

Google say yes, and when Google say yes nobody can say no.

feelingfeline

11 YES you did mention it

queenmomcat

12. is it a crocus?

feelingfeline

12 Not a crocus, (though they are out early this year too at DD's school.)

queenmomcat

Just realized crocuses may be from corms.

13. Do the flowers tend to come in a limited range of colors?

feelingfeline

13. They do.

feelingfeline

(Looking up corms)

You are right about crocus corms.
