Tulipa 2009

[johnw]

Robin  - Yes you hit the nail on the head, nice bandstand and lake, otherwise a horticultural nightmare.  The Hfx Public Gardens are but 2 blocks away from me, everytime I pass it I get a headache.  Graham Stuart Thomas' mouth would be opening and closing like a fish's as described in the intro to his book on great gardeners. Pity as the garden has great bones, bones laid out by an Irishman.

BTW - the link of Luit contents a virus / Malware "HTML/Rce.Gen." (Trojan).
I use Avira Antivir which has refused access.

That is worrying, Armin.
I have removed the link to prevent anyone else following it.  Now I'm trying to remember when I opened the link, and isf it was berfore or after today's pc scan?!

Worrying indeed, therefore let my Computer scan all Temporary Internet Files, but no reporting of any virus, (I know that this means nothing at all'),
but don't believe it is so tragically. Nova Scotia gives on several sites this link.
When it contains malware, they would have found out since long I HOPE.??

Maggi.I don't think it is anything to worry about, I have scanned with a AVG professional anti-virus and anti-spyware and found nothing.

I just cannot comprehend the enormity of a hospital site with (at least?) nine escalators.....ooh, errrrr, just looked again... it is elevators, not escalators..... well, okay, that is within reason, I concede!!

They need 9 escalators for people waiting to get in!

Yes, I've run a scan too and nothing show..... better safe than sorry, though, Huh? I discover that this trojan dates from 2007 so most of us with up to date protection will have been okay, but I get anxious about such things

Maggi and all,

this is what Avira says about that virus "HTML/Rce.Gen":

Description:
One major goal of malware authors is to execute code on the victims computer. This Remote Code Execution can be achieved by using security holes in the web browser. The AHeAD HTML Heuristics detects the attempt to execute code and alerts it as HTML/Rce.Gen.

Virus: HTML/Rce.Gen
Date discovered: 14/08/2007
Type: Trojan
In the wild: Yes
Reported Infections: Low
Distribution Potential: Low
Damage Potential: Low
Static file: No
Engine version: 7.04.01.62

I've missed something here, including the given link. Maybe just as well. John, I see what you mean about the real thing (the tulip) if it is the one in the windswept picture. I had thought the pictures on the elevator walls could be poster types like the ones in the London underground.

[Boyed]

The tulip, John showed, is definately a triumph tulip. I remember I've seen such in Dutch tulip picture book. Should study the pictures again in the book to find out the name.

[Lvandelft]

As I made a copy of the original I could show Amanda's tulip to other people here.
I received the following 'maybe' names for the tulips in the elevator:
Red Revival or even Parade.
Here normally tulips are never pictured in this stadium, but as this is more an artistic photo....difficult to say.

This nice and elegant tulip species, which very much impressed me, was photographed by a traveler in Albania. I don’t have any idea what species it might be. Maybe somebody can help with ID, especially who has an access to flora of Albania?

Specialist from Copenhagen University Kit Tan says that they found t. schrenkii in North Kazakhstan, all colours, and no black blotch and the same soft mix of colours on the tepals, but with yellow anthers there.

As to tulipa hungarica;
this unknown tulip is rather tall, not short-stemmed as in tulipa hungarica; the outer tepals are not rounded, but apiculate and there is no black basal blotch beneath the yellow at the base of the tepals as in tulipa hungarica? Also the leaves are more glacous than green.

It's Tulipa schrenkii

[Boyed]

Dima,

it'll be very good if you place few photos of tulipa schrenkii from your region, so the people will have the opportunity to compare. I could place them for myself, but the internet connection at my work place at the momnet is rather slow.

[Boyed]

The connection got better and I post Dima's photos of tulipa schrenkii from Crimea.

[Oakwood]

Thanks, Zhirair! Exactly! It's my pics of T. schrenkii from Crimean Kertch' peninsula steppes. In 14-15th centuries the bulbs of it were exported to the Ottoman Empire by millions.....
