Neither of them were bought. Most of them were acquired from various locations/friends over the years. There is one variety acquired from India whose pictures i have lost whose flower size is even bigger. A very rare Iranian variety was uprooted accidently in my absence.

Does TCS permit dispatch of rhizomes?
