all those outside without protection will flower in less than 2 weeks....depends of the night frost awaited.
A friend of mine was near Omalos in Crete last week, he saw doerfleri in bloom.

Amana edulis (syn. Tulipa edulis)

This clone from Jim Archibald reappears every January but hardly increases at all for me. 
The species also seems to be self-incompatible so I've tried seed a couple of times but so far without success.

Frustrating not to get seed, Ashley. Do you still have the Archibald number?

Maggi, I asked Jim about seed although at the time he didn't list it.  However he very kindly sent me a few bulbs but didn't specify a stock number (if indeed they had one), and so I assumed they might be the clone widely grown there in Britain.

After several unsuccessful attempts to get seed from them I was delighted to obtain some from a source in Japan and also from (I think) Kurt Vickery.  Sadly however I didn't manage to germinate either batch.

Thanks , Ashley.  Sometimes I think tulips are as tricky from seed as  colchicum can be!

In general I've has reasonable success in germinating various tulips and indeed colchicums (albeit slow), but failed utterly with the precious Amana seed.
