Hi Fermi,

I have been enjoying the Narcissus and Tulipa photographs. Thanks for sharing.

Here is one for you. Do you grow Acis tingitana? It is a fantastic January blooming species in our garden.
Today is a work day up at our El Dorado County farm. It is harvest season and cover crops need to be planted. Our Tells Peak trip to the Sierra Nevada Mountains is next week. I am looking forward to this.

Hi Robert,
yes, Acis tingitana is one of the first bulbs I got from my friend Otto.
I have a different clone from Hillview in Tasmania before they shut down.
Tulipa 'Peppermint Stick' looks close to the type species Tulipa clusiana f clusiana with the dark purple central blotch. I prefer the name "The Lady Tulip"
cheers
