Remarks from the Weekly KAVB Flower Show - Lisse

[Lvandelft]

Is 'Janneke' a pink jonquilla hybrid (5W-P)?

Yes Fermi, Janneke is indeed a DIV 5 (Triandrus Daffodil)

[Lvandelft]

Because I used part of this picture in the Puzzle thread I had to wait to show the last picture of Monday's Show.

an arrangement of a strange looking tulip:                     
                                   
Tulipa Groen Artisjok 

Some will like it, some will definitely not

[Lina Hesseling]

Hear, hear, I have a Dutch fan as well 
Glad you like my pictures Lina! Keukenhof must be a long day of traveling for you?

Because I live in the north/east of Holland, I always have to travel a little more. This means I'll have to get up a little earlier.
But traffic is less a problem here.
It only takes  about 3 hours to get to your area.

Lina.

Looks a bit more like an overgrown sempervivum than a tulip of any sort.  What an oddity!

You are absolutely right, Luit ... some will like it, some will definitely NOT!!!

Cliff, tomorrow is the online auction for the whole stock of these tulips, so you may try to do the best bid
Here you will see the same cultivar on the field, just scroll down.

I just tried the Hyperlink and it will take some seconds to download the Pdf, so have some patience!

Will the bid top thirty six euros, Luit?  We could go halves perhaps and sell them on e-bay?

I’m afraid that bid is too low Cliff, despite the Dutch financial crisis

For that price they might deliver you probably Jerusalem artichokes

Ah shucks!!!  Perhaps next time!   I knew I should have upped the bid to 50 euros.

A kilo of brussels sprouts would be more within your budget, Cliff!

[ranunculus]

Ah, the winds of change in the value of money, Anne!!!

What is the double Ranunculus? R. asiaticus x ?

I dont like double Narcissus but I really like Narcissus Petit Four. Someone slap me please
