Remarks from the Weekly KAVB Flower Show - Lisse

[ashley]

Thanks Luit.  I think I'll divide mine next year then stagger first watering to extend their flowering

[Lvandelft]

The first Show of this year was impressively colourful.
But I'll start my pictures with a new named snowdrop:

Galanthus elwesii Happy New Year

[Lvandelft]

and of course there were tulips:

and a rich flowering pot Narcissus 
Narcissus romieuxii

[Lvandelft]

a few other interesting entries:

Tropaeolum brachyceras   
Acis tingitana                     
Crocus imperati De Jager

[Lvandelft]

some more narcissi:

Narcissus cantabricus clusii       
Narcissus Julia Jane   

[Lvandelft]

and finally a few bulbous entries:
                         
Tulips                             
Hyacinthus Pearls Passion

[annew]

The genuine Julia Jane! And Luit, are you having a joke? That snowdrop looks very suspicious….

[Lesley Cox]

I thought it had been dipped in orange squash, the concentrated kind you have to add water to, to make the drink. More Galanthus 'April Fool's Day' than 'Happy New Year'

[Lvandelft]

Lots of snow and rather cold this week in Holland, but the Show must go on

There were some nice pot tulips:

Tulipa White Desire                       
Tulipa Flair Fringed

[Lvandelft]

amongst narcissus I saw this little cross made by B. Duncan:

Narcissus asturiensis x N. Candlepower
   Sorry that the pic is not as sharp as I would like, but the cooling in the hall makes small flowers always move a bit

Eranthis hyem. Schwefelglanz               
Lachenalia bulbifera     

[Lvandelft]

and some more tulips:

Tulipa Karlijn                             
Tulipa Lady Chantal                       
Tulipa Ontario                             
Tulipa Agrass Creme                       
Tulipa Bright Abra

[Lvandelft]

Of course there were snowdrops to see this Monday 

Galanthus imperati 
Galanthus Anglesey Abbey     
Galanthus George Elwes       
Galanthus Bill Bishop           
Galanthus John Gray     

[Lvandelft]

I picked the following cultivars out of the many pots and I hope that there are some between them which were not shown here before:

Narcissus The Alliance
Narcissus Castanets           
Narcissus Sjors             
Narcissus Snook
