Is that from the Bulbs donated to the DWE by Luit and Cees Breed from the Connoisseur Collection, Christine?

Hi Maggi,

I've lots of those in bloom, but I got this particular lot at my local garden centre.  I'll certainly be back looking for more of that one next spring.  Its just lovely.

Here are a couple now in bloom

First two are Crocus sieberi ssp atticus 'Firefly'
the last one is Crocus korolkowii 'Agalik'

If you want to move these feel free, Maggi

  Last October a large number of bulbs were donated to theSRGC Discussion Weeekend,  by Luit Van Delft and Cees Breed, from the Connoisseur Collection.
This thread is for photos of those bulbs.... to show how the members are getting on with their "booty" from this generous sale of bulbs for SRGC Website funds.



 I haven't got any of mine in flower yet, here in Aberdeen.... but  others are further advanced...... 8)

Excellent potfuls of Crocus korolkowii from the Discussion Weekend.

I have reticulate irises that will be in bloom shortly and I will post shots of them.

It was nice to read about Cees Breed in the new book Galanthomania.

Its come up very nicely, thanks Brian.  A bit floppy in the pot, but I sure do like it!  Think its going into the garden later though.  I like to keep em in a pot at first...
