Hans, see on this thread reply172 of February 8 (Arthur Nicholls) and reply 174 also Feb 8 (Luit van Delft),
http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=1194.165
 and then ?????? ;D

Sorry David, today I was told the two pictures I showed there should be the other way around.
I was looking for a good picture of my own, but could not find them, so I took them from a
Dutch trader's catalogue.... ??? ??? ( So are the Dutch :( >:( ::) ::) :-X )
The one who told me said he would registrate so that he could tell the Forum himself when I make a mistake,
hope he does!

Great show of retics Dominique !
You don't seem to go around buying two or three bulbs at the time - you must buy them per Kilo  ;D

Dom,  you are right, your first pic of Sheila Ann Germaney  has virus. The others are fine... get rid of the virus ones fast... it would be so sad to affect all those other beauties!

That is really a nice show Dominique.

Or did you propagate them yourself? Though when counting, here and there seem to be just 50 planted.

Only J.S. Dijt seem to me to much on the blue side?

Thank you Maggi,Luit, David and Luc. I buy them  by 10 bulbs (or one if expensive) and divise them with the time. My soil is sandy and it is good for them, generally. Some of them are not easy as Natacha for exemple. I will put off my virosed Ann Sheila Germaney...sniff !!!

Dominque, they are all beautiful.  Do you divide them every year, and how deep do you plant them?

They are just coming in to our nurseries now and are sold  in packs of 5, so I have a while to wait to get as many as you.

Fantastic photos everyone.  Love that Halkis in particular!!  Beautiful to find them all here together after an absence.  Oh to have 50 of any retic!!  ::) 

Dirk,

Those species you've posted are just brilliant.  Great colour combination on each of them.  Love that pure white hybrid as well.  Now of course I want to grow them all (as do most of the people reading this!!  ;D)

Thanks for the pics everyone.

Susan, I plant them at 8 cm depth and divide them only at the beginning to have quickly 50 or more. After they are free. If sandy soil dry in summer, its not a problem
