Allium 2013
« on: January 20, 2013, 01:55:16 PM »
a new year has started a few weeks ago. for everyone al the best for 2013!
In holland januari started very warm, but januari 12 it started to freeze.
A lot of our allium already came out, so we put straw on to protect against the frost.

Here I have up to minus 25, but fortunately all is covered by 20-25 cm of snow. I only walked by all passes between beds pressing dawn snow for frost could harden soil making barriers for rodents.

In the Netherlands it is still too cold! what a difference with last year!
 last year allium paradoxum was already flowering, and also the first tulips were in bloom.
 Now it freezes every night and the first alliums and tulips just come out of the ground. (Attached pictures; April 3 last year and today 31 March)

Dear Forumists,
From today you can see my home-page on  http://rarebulbs.lv - it opens on Internet Explorer, but still not on Google search (I don't know - why). There you can find all my catalogue and 99% of items have pictures attached. There is GARDEN NEWS topic where you can print your questions and I will try to reply as soon as possible as I will inform about news from my garden and collection. Arriving of young generation gives me more time and more advanced technologies.

No problem with Safari either.

Nice to see that Allium egorovae with new name. Like you,  I got this from Cambridge bulbs some years ago as A. elburzense. Nice plant. Two bulbs are about to flower here.

Unusual Allium from West corner of China and Kazahstan border. Can't identify it. May be new one?
