Well our master gardens are continually blowing our minds with new flowers. These popped up today - as the name implies, its from Tunisia which for the geographically impared, is on the Mediteranian in north Africa. its a zone 9 plant!! My house is at 4,000 feet above sealevel in the East Cascade range in Oregon. It can below zero here in the winter, even 20 below, and its a mediteranian plant. It has a huge corm - I've only seen a corner of it, but the corm (bulb like thingy) must be 5 inches across and its covered with tiny 3 inch tall flowes on the end of sort of vine stems. Way pretty...
