(HERALDS of SERENE) 
These are some of the earliest and most colorful 
Spring Beauties which actually seem to drive the 
last snows away, as they frequently appear while 
snow is still seen. All Winter they store their energy, 
so that early Spring sees them burst into the first 
brilliant colors to gladden a gardener’s heart. These 
hardy bulbs increase from year to year.

where and thrive in any soil. Do well when naturalized in
