Leucojum aestivum
« on: March 20, 2010, 08:03:36 PM »
I'm searching for bulbs of Leucojm aestivum ....it seems it is a problem to get the pur species .
The nursery offers mostly Leuc. aestivum 'Gravetye Giant' - thats no problem ( I have a lot in my garden )

Please look here :
http://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/Leucojum

there is written :
In L. aestivum the scape is somewhat flattened and it has two 'sharp' edges. This edge is what botanists term scarious, i.e. unpigmented and translucent, as can be seen if you hold it to the light. In ssp. aestivum this margin has a scattering of minute bumps along it. They can be seen with the naked eye, but a lens would be better, and they can also be felt if you run a finger along the edge.

I would be glad for any offers or advices !

Thank you
Hans
