Dear friends, Tulipa sprengeri is just in bud and coloring up. This is our latest tulip to bloom by far and long after every other tulip has faded and nearly or totally dormant. In its own way it is a treasure and I need many more. It is extremely slow to multiply by traditional division methods here (and I understand this is typical for this species). I have some seedlings coming along, but I still want more and to try it in other parts of the garden. Instant gratification (in bulb terms that means bloom in a couple of years) Does anyone have bulbs for sale, trade or can suggest a reasonable source for bulbs of typical or 'Trotter's Form" (which I do not grow at all) ? Appreciate any growing hints or even more praise for this unusual species. Best and thanks Jim W. -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd.
