Lvandelft:
Today I visited the yearly so called Midwinterflora in Lisse.
I made some pictures and put them here in the Forum hopefully to show that springtime is coming!

1 Tulips with some old photo’s on the wall to show how work with bulb was done in earlier days
2 Tulips
3 Tulips
4 Narcissus group
5 Narcissus group
6 Narcissus group
7 Narcissus Little Gem
8 Narcissus moschatus
9 Narcissus maximus
10 Narcissus Topolino
Sorry not all pics are as good as I wanted, but I just had a small pocket camera without tripod.

ichristie:
 Thank you so much for these super pictures they really make us think about spring as we sit here lookin out at snow and severe frost which has made everything very slippery under foot with all the poor bulbs still underground (wise bulbs) we are assured that spring will come but may be some time yet, cheers Ian the Christie kind.

Paddy Tobin:
Great posting Luit.

Lovely flowers.

Many thanks, Paddy

Lvandelft:
Thank you for your kind words paddy and Ian.
Ian, I was just talking with my good friend Peter, and I should pass-on to you his best wishes
from Holland. He showed me already many pictures from  beautiful Patagonia.

Here are some more "bulbs":
Batch nr. 2 Midwinterflora
First one other Narcissus from the first batch:
11 White Surprise ( not everyone will love it, I think)

 Huge was a group of Lilium.
12 Lilium group 2
13 Lilium group 3

Interesting for the garden I saw the next low growing hybrids:
14 Lilium Tiny Puppet
15 Lilium Tiny Sensation
16 Lilium Tiny Diary

Then there were some “green Narcissus: hybrids
17 Narcissus Viridi I
18 Narcissus Viridi IV
19 Narcissus Viridi Dubbel ( a half double form)

and a nice small pink Hippeastrum:
20 Hippeastrum pink nr. 99.021-11

Lvandelft:
And finally Batch nr. 3 :

Some Hyacinths :
21 Hyac. Woodstock  (especially for Anthony D. and Paul T.)
22 Hyac. New 06
23 Hyac. Delft Blue (what’s in a name)

And there were very impressive small flowering Hippeastrum which already grew for 3
years outside in the garden without extra covering in winter, where they flower every year
in June/July. How hardy they are is not sure yet, but we had these last winters temps. Down
to minus 10 C.
24 Hippeastrum White Swan
25 Hippeastrum Balentino
26 Hippeastrum Orange Rascal

I finish with a more normally Hippeastrum
27 Hippeastrum hybr.
