Bulbs in the Greenhouse Feb 2013
« on: February 06, 2013, 12:09:36 PM »
I would like assistance in naming/ confirming the name of two bulbs currently in flower.

Is this Hyacinthella sartensis?

Can you name this tulip from Kazakhstan

Thanks Maggi - I think.  A picture would help a lot more.  Never took Latin at school and find these descriptions totally confusing.

You and millions of others -it's   a piece of nonsense that  am pleased to learn is no longer necessary and English descriptions are adequate.

Look Art, here is my Hyacinthella siirtensis of 2011. It is always the first of my Hyacinthellas that bloom.

It is most attractive- fine colour and early flowering is good.
