Remarks from the Weekly KAVB Flower Show - Lisse

[Brian Ellis]

Those two really dark hyacinths on the right look interesting.

[Lvandelft]

When we entered the Show Hall this Monday there was an overwhelming scent of hyacinths.
Of course there were other entries as well.

Crocus angustifolius                                 
Crocus Goldene Sonne
Corydalis transsylvanica Rosea
Corydalis Beth Evans

Iris histrio subsp. aintabensis

[Lvandelft]

Some Mc Murtrie Iris reticulata hybrids:
                       
and some interesting sports of
Iris Kath. Hodgkin sport
Iris Sheila Ann Germaney sport                     

Tulipa hissarica                 

and one pan which did not make it to the show because I could not be there in time                                  

Scilla hohenackeri       

[Lvandelft]

One exhibitor showed us three different groups of interesting hyacinths.
Two groups came originally from the Hortus Bulborum in 2004 and one group showed old varieties
which are no more in trade

Hyacinthus old Vars. [Not in the trade anymore)

The next group shows many (older) varieties which are still in the trade;

Hyacinthus [still in trade] 1                       
Hyacinthus [still in trade] 2                         
Hyacinthus [still in trade] 3                     
Hyacinthus double [still in trade] 4                 

With all these older hyacinths the exhibitor started to make hybrids since 2004 and showed
some of his first seedlings:

Hyacinthus new seedl.                               
Hyacinthus new seedl. cl                                 

Other entries:
Hyacinthus 2                                   
Hyacinthus seedl             

[Lesley Cox]

Really love those cream and white sports. I wish mine would do that.

Always something to lust after - the sports are my favourite this week.

I like that last hyacinth too.

I showed here some last year too, but they are still improving.
Something to look out for in the future.
