BH teasing vinca.

me too... others interested?

Is an Iris a bulb or tuber? And if a bulb does it mulitply like tulips?

I think J and J are interested :)

Most Iris are rhizomes, but some are bulbs. Rhizomes increase, not sure about the bulb kind.

So if its a bulb how do you get a new plant if it dont multiply? I got 2 from ??? at Kassia'a 2 years ago. I still only have 2.

Another camellia, April Tryst.
Gotta get to work!

She told the different types (briefly) but still seemed to be talking more about rhizomes than bulbs. Maybe she was describing Dutch irises. Rhizome is NOT a tuber by the way, should not be underground.

nice pictures all - patti love that tree!

the tuber comment made me chuckle

Pretty pics Venu. What a difference one zone makes, you are way ahead down there but it won't be too long here either for some blooms on the lilacs and azaleas.

The tulips are just starting.

Yes - great shots, all!

Here are a few from yesterday AM.

Viburnum carlesii Compactum - so fragrant! And nice and small.
