This Monday we could see the first Tulip. A white seedling of T. Yokohama x T. Brigitta. Brigitta is already known as a good variety for early forcing.
Interesting was to see a pot with some Narcissus Martinette. While the exhibitor walked
on a field he saw very unexpectedly some yellow flowers. The bulbs were somehow left after harvesting.
This Narcissus of theTazetta group is known to flower sometimes already in December in gardens.
Then there were some beautiful pots of Oxalis versicolor.
And again some Hyacinths of very good quality.
Hyacinthus White Pearl
Then Hyacinthus Anna Marie and at last Hyacinthus Atlantic, which is a offspring of Anna Marie.

This week we had a few entries.
Interesting was to see a nice pan with Iris reticulata, namely
I. ret. Harmony which is still one of the strongest, and two Sports of it:
Iris ret. Alida and I. ret. Pixie
In the pan they are from left to right:

Iris reticulata Pixie

Hi Luit,
I'd never heard of "Alida" until it appeared in a couple of catalogues this year and here you are with a pic of it! Thanks, again.
cheers

Today was the last weekly show.
As usual is the last show of the year always a special show:
The Special Christmas Show.We saw a nice lot of entries, like some groups of Hyacinths in a superb quality.
One group was shown in wooden boxes which were used for forcing in earlier times.
Then there were some vases with Alstroemeria. Here A. Nadya was outstanding with
an intensive red colour.
A very nice group of Iris reticulata and some very good tulips etc.

I wish a Merry Christmas to everyone on the forum and their relatives
and a very healthy and hopefully productive New Year.

We have been lucky enough to have a warm, bright day here, Luit, but nothing to compare with this wealth of colour from Lisse......how much I enjoy these visits :D   

What a deep red the Alstroemeria 'Nadya'  has ... I will send this photo to my friend... Alstroemeria are her favourite flowers, but I am sure she has not seen one so richly red , like velvet.


What a shame I had not time to order Ian some(Tulipa)  'Ferrari' for Christmas  ;)
