Favorite Yellow Bulbs

Dear All,

I made a wiki page for the topic of the week on favorite yellow bulbs to
link with the TOW page listing all the suggestions everyone made. It turned
out to take longer than I expected. I hope that I didn't miss any.
Sometimes people respond with a subject heading that doesn't fit their
subject. Please let me know if there were any I missed I need to add and if
there are any mistakes feel free to correct them.

The genus most often mentioned for favorite yellow flowers was Narcissus
following by Lilium.
There was a tie for the plant suggested the most (five times):
Eranthis hyemalis and Tulipa batalinii (which some consider a form of
Tulipa linifolia)

The second most mentioned favorite yellow flowered bulb was Sternbergia
lutea. The following were mentioned by at least three different people:
Arum creticum, Clivia miniata yellow forms, Crocus chrysanthus cultivars,
Iris bucharica, Nothoscordum felipponei, Triteleia ixioides (various
cultivars and species), and Vetltheimia bracteata yellows.

To see a listing of all the plants mentioned in one place:

All of you who sent in your choices who don't have a wiki page (and
therefore are not listed in blue) are invited to make a wiki page with as
little or much as you'd like to share about yourself.

I added pictures of Bill Dijk's plants he has created and mentioned in his
contribution to the Narcissus hybrid page. Nancy Wilson has mentioned some
of these in her introduction to this week's topic of the week and Lyn
talked about seeing them on AB Images so if you are curious to see what
they look like you can go to:

and look for Bill Dijk's name.
