Tulipa sogdiana
« on: April 25, 2007, 11:58:39 PM »
Now that my Tulipa sogdiana is dormant, forced by the drought, I decided to lift it and move it to a new spot where I can see it. Usually they are partially hidden by Narcissus, Colchicum and Galanthus leaves. They flower, for me, in March out in the open

I have some to spare! But not many. The only fair way is first come first served. I can supply 3 people with 2 or 3 bulbs. Just let me know here. That way others will know they are late. Europe only.

Mark, thanks for kind offer, I'd be interested in a couple of bulbs.  Is there something you'd like in return?

OK four of you is fine. An offer of a swap is great too. Email me privately with offers. I need your addresses and will try and them off tomorrow or Saturday. Try is often broken as Anthony knows can lead to weeks

Mark, a nice darf species. You picture looks much better then that of commercial offers.
As your bulbs are likely out of stock I've noticed it for my wish list for the next late summer order.
Best wishes
Armin

Mark
I doubt if your problem is the woodlice eating your bulbs.  Woodlice have very weak mouthparts and are unable to eat much health plant tissue.  They live on rotting/dead plant material and I suspect your bulbs already had a problem before the woodlice started to eat them.  You will have to find out what started the rot in the first place.
