I too enjoy seeing 'photos of your wonderful variety of bulbs Fermi and this year it has given me fresh enthusiasm to get mine planted.....
Hi Carole,
then my job here is done!
I think this sort of Forum is great for us to encourage each other to grow things we might not have thought of before as well encouraging the exchange of plants and seeds.
Sadly recent changes in the regulations in Australia mean that we can no longer receive seeds that aren't commercially packaged
We got an exemption for small distributors such as "Seeds of Peace" and the various Seed Exchanges but some of the inspectors just see that the seeds aren't in commercial packets so either destroy or return the seeds to the sender. We are worried that this may cause some sellers to stop sending seeds to Australia
On a happier note,here is Tulipa bakeri 'Lilac Wonder' (now offically Tulipa saxatilis Bakeri Group 'Lilac Wonder')
cheers
fermi
