Remarks from the Weekly KAVB Flower Show - Lisse

[Lvandelft]

Interesting to see was a plant of Albuca spiralis shown by a member who just acquired this and
brought to the show for particular interest:                   

Albuca spiralis       

[Lvandelft]

and some other varied entries:

Allium acuminatum                             
Allium Twinkling Star                         
Amorphophallus bulbifer

Astilbe                                         
Dichelostemma seedling                         
Fritillaria przewalskii    probably one of the latest flowering frits?                       

Bloomeria crocea var. aurea

[Maggi Young]

Oh my word! Whata selection this week  
I had no idea of such Triteleia selections.... 'Rudy' is so beautiful.

Are you sure the exhibitor has not applied excess electricity to that Albuca? Or too much hair perming lotion?
Then an onion with more flowers packed into a ball than sems possible...... and any number of other wonders..... such a late Frit. and that pretty Dichelostemma ...... all a real treat.... learning more every week, Luit , from your pictures.

 Or too much hair perming lotion?

  Very good, I hadn't thought of that possibility.

Wonderful Tritelias, thanks for showing us Luit.  The Albuca spiralis is super

[ranunculus]

Superb, Luit ... many thanks once again.

Maggi,  the plant respond to proper watering. With desert conditions it is "curly". With more (inadequate) watering the leaves unfurl and adopt a "normal" appearance.

Thank you, Alberto. I assumed the  foliage would be curled in any conditions, I am surprised to learn that over-watering would affect the degree of curl. Most interesting.

Beautiful, Luit, thank you.

I like Echinacea 'Hot Fragrance.' Reminds me of our Cain - Shaggy dog. I hope the fragrance in the name is pleasanter though
