These bulbs were planted over 20 years ago by non other than Howard Gentry himself. He first started doing research on this bulb for it's potential use as a rodenticide, and started mass planting them in the 70's where they were all but forgotten about until recently. These bulbs were dug them from his family Homestead in Muririeta Ca, which is still owned by his daughter. I have procured the rights to all the bulbs that remain!

That must look great in flower!
