Wim,

thanks a lot. This was the side I'm looking for. 

[Wim de Goede]

Atleast the Spring came, as you see we grow enerything in the open.

Here some poto's in the field
A view of the field where we grow the specialties
Stok Iris Halkis
 ,,    ,,   Sheila Ann Germaney
 ,,    ,,   Katharine Hodgkin
Crocus chr. Ard Schenk
Narcis romieuxii
Narcis asturiensis
Stenbergia candida
Ranunculus kochii

[Gail]

Great pictures Wim, it is astonishing to see things grown on that scale.  There has been a lot of talk on other threads about Iris Katharine Hodgkin with blue streaks on the standard petals ? due to virus.  Do you find that a problem with your stock?

[Ian Y]

Great views of your fields Wim, what a sight.
Lovely to see so many Srernbergia candidain one place.

Do you lift the Narcissus romieuxii in the summer or do they stay planted all year round?

[Janis Ruksans]

Lovely bulbs Wim. Is the Iris White Caucasus what is sometimes sold (not here, alas) as white winogradowii?

No, Lesley,
WHITE CAUCASUS is selection of wild Iris reticulata from Caucasus mountains selected by Alan McMurtrie and later forwarded to Wim de Goede for increasing. I have very similar one specially searched for me by Zhirair in mountains of Armenia, but stock still is very small.
Winogradowii Alba most liklely is some of winogradowii hybrids, not pure winogradowii, but well growing with me aoutside and in greenhouse. I'm offering it in my catalogue.

Wim - I've just seen this. The field of Sternbergia candida is amazing. Do you lift the bulbs during the summer?

[Lesley Cox]

I find that Sternbergia lutea needs great summer heat to induce autumn flowering, maybe more heat than I can supply out in the garden. Is this also true of S. candida? because I had not imagined Holland as being particularly warm in summeer - not like Greece, for instance - yet obviously you have no trouble flowering this beautiful species.

Gail the blue streaks on the standerd of Katharine Hodgkin is not virus, it seems to come from Mijt a very smal insect , we tread  the bulbs with Actellic when we stor them and that help a lot

We lift the bulbs every year Ian because we have to rotate and we store the Narsis romieuxii by 20 C also the Sternbergia candida and we also give them a warm water treadment

Here is much colder than in Holland but before I built up my first greenhouse I grew for years Sternbergia candida outside and it well set seeds. In some winters stock suffered, but I never lost it completely, allways number of bulbs were replaced by fresh seedlings (sawn outside) and natural splitting. Mother plants were replanted annually. Of course in greenhouse it grow far better.
