yesterday hit 20 C...and how the plants respond. The bulb frame is mostly Muscari and botanical tulips. Here are some Tulips.
Week of May 1 at the Memorial University Bot. Garden
and the Muscari
the first alpine primula are starting in the alpine house.
and for something really different (and rare) is our Heloniopsis orientalis which is blooming in our peat bed.
Fritillaria persica should have a fine show in the next couple of weeks.
Our pot of Tulipa humilis is wonderful...what a great mini tulip.
What a beautiful display Todd. I know I've said it before, but thank you so much for continuing to share them with us here. --Ginny
Yes Todd love the pictures you show.
The Heloniopsis don't we have one simular to it here in N,F
only the flowers are yellow,We call it devil berries.
I would say the temp was the same here yesterday,and hotter today.
Thanks for sharing these with us Todd. I've never even seen half of these bulbs before! In the tulip picture whats the unopened one in the top left corner? Also, in the Muscari photo whats the greenish one(middle right) and there's another flower in the very front thats light blue and white?
Steve
The Muscari are M. botryoides 'Album' (back white), M. azereum (pale blue, left), M. latifolium (two-tone blue, front) and M. ambrosianum (greenish one on right).
The tulip to the back left is Tulipa bakeri.
Todd, I do enjoy the shows you put on, thanks for sharing.
Todd
