Title: BULB LOG 12 - 19th March 2014
Post by: mark smyth on March 19, 2014, 04:09:08 PM: Just a dronefly in the tulip flower. It has a shiny body. The Narcissus fly is hairy

Stand out plants in the blog - Trillium ovatum maculosum and the tall yellow Frit :o

Thank goodness for that, Mark - we thought you'd know for sure. Ian didn't catch the fly.

Those two plants are probably my favourites as well :D

Post by: Ian Y on March 20, 2014, 12:42:25 PM: Thanks for identifying the fly for me Mark, I knew it was not a bee but was not sure what it was so am relived to learn it is a dronefly.

Luc I think Crocus scardicus would be in all croconuts top 5 a pity it is not easier for most to grow.
