Hello Eric - we are well informed about the wonderful connoiseur's collection of your dear Father, from the reports made here by Luit Van Delft, and from the kindness of your Father and Luit in donating bulbs to be sold for the benefit of the SRGC Website. This has been very much appreciated, as I hope you are aware.

It will be very exciting now if there is the possibility for more people to have the possibility to swap or buy bulbs from you Father's exceptional collection  - thank you for this message.  8)

I have heard from Eric and this may make things easier  for all :
The lists are: Mixed flower bulb list ;  Tulip list:  Narcissus list


Eric tells me :
"Colchicum and Narcissus are in the ground already, tulips are being cleaned
now.
It is a small scale hobby collection, just a few bulbs of each variety,
sometimes a bit more, often just 1 or few bulbs.

What we do is, either swap bulbs, for ones we do not have yet, or we sell
bags for euro 5, with few bulbs if scarce, and a good handful if we have
plenty.

If people send us a list of wanted items, we see what is available, separate
them, and send bulbs when paid for (incl.shipping).
People seem to be very happy with this, sometimes they get very cheap bulbs
of rare stuff we have surplus of.

In this way we keep it simple, we have many other things to do - such as www.tulippictures.eu !

regards
Eric "

 So email Eric with your wants list and what you might have to swap:

    eric@tulippictures.eu

The lists are attached here as text files because they cannot be attached here as XLs files but I can send those to anyone asking for that format.

wow, so many bulb loving people on this forum, i want to thank everybody who responded and swapped and purchased bulbs .  Some items like Crocus baytopiorum and Crocus sieberi sieberi are really sold out now, but plenty of other rarities are still present.
