I'm Knud Poulsen from Måløv, a sub-urban area of Copenhagen, Denmark.

My main interest is integrating alpine plants - bulbs mainly - in perennial borders. Alliums and Fritillarias are my main interest.

My Allium collection includes Allium alexejanum, A. nevskianum, A. trautvetterianum, A. protensum besides the "usual suspects" amongst the big globe ones.

In Fritillarias I'm mainly focusing on the large ones. My stock consists of 9 bulbs of F. Eduardii and 60 bulbs F. Raddeana. The latter includes 50 bulbs acquired November 2008 at a good discount (€ 155 for 50 bulbs).

Hello, Knud, a very warm welcome to you, both to the Forum and the SRGC. I hope you will find much to interest you in the forum. We look forward to hearing more of your gardening plans in times to come.
Good discount you got on those Frit. raddeana! Such a good strong  plant, you should soon have a great colony!

Welcome from me too, being one of the usual suspects on the Forum. ;D I look forward to seeing some wonderful perennial borders. Crumbs, you write English like a native! 8) :)

Welcome to the forum Knud.  Look forward to reading your posts, and learning more about integrating bulbs into borders, something I have a lot of difficulty in understanding.  Could you add your location to your sig when you get a moment, it really helps people understand where you are coming from when you write.

Sorry but I introduced myself in a woody link about Viburnum.
My favorite bulbs are allium and the wild tulips. So here from Dominique that A. chamaemoly is in bloom, let my think to a friendly member of the SRGC in Germany that make a promise to me to get this species in April.

Hi Uli
As you I like Allium, wild Tulipa. I like too Crocus, Narcissus, Colchicum etc.. If you don't obtain chamaemoly, I can send you it. It resists this cold year at -10°C in the rock garden  between stones in sandy soil, but I have a pot of security under lass. Idem for Acis autumnale;

Hello Everyone,

I introduced myself, like Uli, on a link about viburnum cuttings. I work at arboretum in Ottawa, Canada. I live in the country just outside the city. I have a great deal of interest in woody plants, woodland plants and Arisaemas. I must be honest and say that pretty much anything green that will grow here is of interest. I love finding plants new plants that will grow here and having success with ones that are not supposed to grow here. This is a great forum and I am looking forward to being part of it.

Thank you all for the warmly welcome at this forum. As a guest I follow the bulb blog from Ian, the wisley blog for a long time. So it was time to get member of the forum and of the SRGC.

Dominique, you see me speechless. Be a member of the forum since Saturday and the second offer for plants. What a fantastic forum of plant crazy people.

Goodness Maggi, those links are going back a bit. It's like meeting old friends all over again. Sad though that the occasional name no longer appears among the present posters. Maybe they lurk.
