Another favourite of mine starts to flower today, Tulipa Cypria
You know the question I'll always ask when you show such a stunning plant, Oron,
"Does it set seed?" ;D
cheers

My first season growing these, I hope there might be a pot full in a year or so. Must try some of Ian Young's magic powder on them

Very nice Ralph.  Are your KV plants from seed, and if so, how long did they take?

Oron, your T. cypria is a wonderful colour 8)

No, Ashley, I do have some seed from KV germinating at present, but this one is from a flowering sized bulb from his last bulb list.

Magic powder???

"Ian Young's magic powder" - a nickname given to Sulphate of Potash -  a  Potassium powder ( Kali powder  on the continent)  that Ian swears by to feed his bulbs to promote flowering.  He's been applying it  this week - it's in the Bulb Log. http://www.srgc.org.uk/logs/index.php?log=bulb

quick trip to that link as i hadn't seen the latest Bulb Log. A great treasure as always, thank you Ian. :) I love that picture of the little white fluffy girls and I think they are so lucky to be living in such an environment. In the picture with just Molly, she seemed to be saying, "this is my very special home which you may visit if you tred carefully."
