warleyensis x bucharica
« on: November 08, 2009, 11:27:45 PM »
For my birthday my brother wants to get me something. I'm very fussy/ungrateful about presents ::) so I suggested b-u-l-b-s.
 Does anyone grow the warleyensis x bucharica hybrids? How easy are they? What potting mix? ...

Hi Mark !
I can recommend Jim Almond's site for Juno Iris'

http://freespace.virgin.net/almond.jim/

Click on "cultivation of bulbs" - to your left on the home page - Juno Iris' is the first subject that appears.
he even writes a chapter about Galanthus...  ;D

Both Janis and Leonid Bondarenko and I'm sure also some british growers list some of the hybrids you mention.

Have fun !

No, according to the calendar it was Mark's birthday last Wednesday.  I should look at the calendar more often.  Sorry we missed it.  I don't seem to recall it appearing in the Birthday Greetings topic, and I must admit that I tend to rely on that rather than the calendar.  ::)  My bad!  :'(

I hope you had a good day, Mark.  All the VERY best.  8)

They are very easy (hybrid vigour) growable even on outside bed. Use standart well drained bulb mix.
