Remarks from the Weekly KAVB Flower Show - Lisse

[Luc Gilgemyn]

and finally a pan with Oxalis versicolor. The corms were planted in September and kept 

outside all the time till now. Some light frost didn't harm them and all the plants flowered on nice short stems:

and a nice pot of Lachenalia:

Just caught up with this wonderful thread - from page 120! What a treat and what stunning colours in plants I thought were pretty commonplace. They'll never arrive here so it's good that you've shown them to us "down under" Luit. We really appreciate your time and efforts.

Glad you still like my reports Lesley!

Just one picture from last Monday.
It's an unnamed seedling from a cross made by Bian Duncan, Narcissus asturiensis x Candlepower/col 0034

Nice!

Mmmm, doesn't look like mine (pics from last year)?

[annew]

That's because it's not the same clone, David. Neither of the two I have are that clone (assuming you got it from me, that is).

[David Nicholson]

You're right Anne, mine was from you. When I wrote my first post I was convinced in my mind that I got mine from Brian, I should have checked. Having said that it's odds on that Brian did more than one cross anyway. Note to self: Don't post until after 10AM at least you're not properly awake

[Lvandelft]

It's always interesting to see the results of the same crosses at different places.
I wonder if Anne's seedlings are all so long stemmed?
The one from Brian is very short.

[annew]

Just to make clear - the cross is not one of my seedlings - it's one I had from Brian. Chances are there was more than one seedling from the same cross. Checking my records, David, the one you have is actually Candlepower x asturiensis (the reverse cross), apologies if I wrongly labelled it. Picture with scale below:

[David Nicholson]

Given my history of mis-labeling Anne it's equally likely that I got it wrong. I've amended it on my database.

The entries at the show are slowly increasing.
We saw some nice pans of mostly bulbous plants.
Firstly a nice small flowering form of Cyclamen coum Album and some  irises.

There were tulips and I picked two nice sports of T. Verona:
