Tulips in March

[Armin]

If nobody minds I'll post my ealiest tulips after crocus is all over...

T.turkestanica: is about 3wks earlier compared to my last 3years records
T.kaufmannia: as early as usual

It seems this mild winter has a different influence on the bulb grows in the garden.
What is the forums opinion/judgement?

[Luc Gilgemyn]

That Kaufmannia is a real beauty Armin ! 

About flowering times, I have the same opinion as you have - the mild winter doesn't seem to have the same effect on all plants/bulbs.  Some are a lot earlier, others are just slightly earlier and some others seem to be just on time... strange...

Here's my Tulipa pulchella "Persian Pearl"

[Armin]

Luc, very early your puchellas. My are all still in buds. Maybe open next week.

Tulipa turkestanica: flowers today fully open (+18°C max.)

[Maggi Young]

Our Tulipa turkestanica are out here in North East Scotland, too, Armin. They were enjoying the bright day today.

Hi Maggi, noticed I posted by mistake the ragwort here too.
How can I remove the picture w/o deleting the text? I tried using "modify" buttom but failed.

[Maggi Young]

Hi, Armin,  I have removed the senecio for you, but here is how to do that: after clicking the 'modify' button, your post will open in a text box. Click on the 'additional options' button, as you would if adding a pic , then you will see any pix that were posted... all shown besdie a little box with a 'Tick' in it: to remove any pic, just click that box to remove the tick, the pic will be gone when you click 'save' and the message is renewed.
Regards,
Maggi

Maggi magic! Thank you

Tulipa regelii is 3 weeks earlier compared to last year, but only a week earlier than 2 years ago.

Welcome to the Forum, Kirsten! What a fine example of Tulipa rugellii, those leaves are magnificent.

To purchase bulbs (plural) you need to be a rich person.  Janis Ruksans has them, 50 euros for one.

Diane,
then better change wording from bulbs to seed?
