Tecophilaea Cyanocrocus
bulborum botanicum (Sun, 04 Sep 2011 04:36:05 PDT)

Was it a Dutch who collected the bulbs
or where they just sold to a Dutch company

Hi Alberto, I cant imagine how anyone could justify taking something so
beautiful from its native environment, unless it was its last chance of
survival. What an earth were those Netherlanders thinking..... I have never
seen these little sapphires before & i was wondering if any sustainable
population survived in the wild, once the original population was removed ?

generous growers. It has been offered through our own BX. Seeds are quite
large and germination in fresh seed is excellent.
