Here some more photo's of bulbs who are in flowerTecophilaea cyanocrocus Leightlinii Violacea Storm cloudThese Tecophilaeas are incredible ~ are they grown out in the fields all year, & then mulched against the frost in winter? Or are the corms planted out in spring?

Or are the corms planted out in spring?Hi Malcolm we plant all the bulbs in the Autumn in the open field and also the Tecophilaea, in Holland they are hardy but what we do in the field we cover them with agril from the time they just come above the grond till they are in bloom to protect them against the night frost but I can tell that they are in my garden for 5 year without problems , so I think in Holland they are hardy.Wim

My friend was meant to be flying to the Netherlands to visit Keukenhof the other week.... that was the time of the airspace ban because of the Icelandic volcano. She was very disappointed to miss out on her trip.
Beautiful Wim! I'm especially interested in Gul Delight. Can you tell me its story? Is it available commercially?ALSO very interesting to see how they are staged for a show. Thank you.

They are magnificent Wim, especially the Arum creticum, so many blooms, and everything so neat and tidy. My ideal of what a nursery SHOUD be, but never is - except yours. Did you have to lie on your tummy to take the picture of 'Little Flick?'
