Armin, I have space in my garden  you can send me the bulb and can visit her any time, you want

Good idea Arykana,
do you have enough space to land my private jet in your garden?

Armin,
Thanks for showing these wonderful pix. Greigii 'Karimata' is an eyecatcher! I will also include it in my wishlist. I think it can easily be obtained from Baltic and Russian tulip collectors, which still grow many rarities. Visiting Hortus Bulborum is one of my dreams. Sooner or later I will certainly visit it. I am somewhat afraid visiting it baring in mind my passion for tulips, as I emagine what will be with me after visiting!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some fosteriana tulips from my collection (all are the first year and from small bulbs)

fosteriana 'Materinskaja Slava' ('Mother's Fame') - wild selection from wild by Z.P. Botschantzeva, extreme rarity;
fosteriana 'Vita' - J. Ruksans. After he sold his tulip collection, he doen't grow it anymore.
fosteriana 'Red Prince' - J. Ruksans. Very vigorous tulip with gigantic blooms.

J. Ruksans fosteriana varieties were pereserved by a collector from Siberia (Russian), who ordered tulips from Janis during Soviet period. Knowing about my passion he refused to sell bulbs to me and just kindly donated some rarities to expand my collection.

Mark, Luc,

Some more tulips in my garden

Another far rarity
fosteriana 'Sigulda' - very large flowering selection from wild by famous Latvian grower L. Sidrevics, who specialized in fosteriana tulips and intruduced many highly decorative varieties. Very pity that many of his introductions were lost.

This tulip was form very small bulbs and not so good to photograph, so I show B. Krasheninnikov (collector from Siberia, famous gladioulus breeder) pictures, from whoom I received this wonderful tulip.

At the end I attache a humble picture of my greigii tulip beds.

Zhirair,
tell me when you visit Hortus Bulborum - I will stand by you to wish away your tears of joy

T. fosteriana is famous for its glowing red, large flowers - very beautiful cultivars.

[Armin]

Zhirair,
nice contrast 'Red Prince' with yellow eye and 'Sigulda' with almost black eye. Make a great show.

Zhirair, Armin tell me the day. I come too  Only to help you with the wishlists.

Some Tulipa greigii-cultivars from my garden. Sorry for the late posting. But no time for the garden in April.
First 'Diantha'. Second my favorite cultivar 'Plasir'. Growing now for six years in the garden and increase well.

Uli,

beautiful greigiis. "Plasir" is really colourful and bright. I thinki i should try it to beautify my rock garden, which I am going to make my country garden, located not far from our town.

Some more bi-colour gregiis to enjoy:

greigii 'Engadin'
greigii 'Tschaikovsky' - very showy variety with exquisit shape and nice colour combination.

I bought this as Tulipa tshimganica last year

Zhirair,

wonderful these two cultivars. It looks like that the colouration is stronger than I know it from northwest germany. I have always a problem with yellow flowering bulbs. Mostly there are only pale yellow.
I like the bi-colour greigiis too. That is one reason why I collect this group of tulips.
