Title: Bulbs in the Greenhouse Feb 2013
Post by: art600 on February 06, 2013, 12:09:36 PM: I would like assistance in naming/ confirming the name of two bulbs currently in flower.

Is this Hyacinthella sartensis?

Can you name this tulip from Kazakhstan

Thanks Maggi - I think. A picture would help a lot more. Never took Latin at school and find these descriptions totally confusing.

You and millions of others -it's a piece of nonsense that am pleased to learn is no longer necessary and English descriptions are adequate.

It is most attractive- fine colour and early flowering is good.

Arthur, it might be helpful to show the flower open for looking inside. Any idea from which area in Kazakhstan?
