Bob and Dell, I’d welcome seed of weed tulips. Bring ‘em on! I’d love to send a few hundred bulbs of T. sylvestnis, but they are stoloniferous to the point of not making many bulbs, at least in my conditions. I have tried sending people bulbs in the past and it means digging deep and finding no bulbs at all. Nada. Each clump of foliage is traced down a skinny stolon to oblivion. Maybe digging a dozen or two plants will result in a couple pea size bulblets. And this is in fairly heavy clay to make the digging more interesting. Dutch growers must keep those confined in a sandy soil that can be sieved closely for the bulbs. Mine originally came from a friend in Kansas City who gave me a few. I”d be glad to try seeds.
