wrong name in PBS BX/SX_476

On 8/5/2021 I wrote this:
I looked at the current BX and then the list of items I sent Luminita
and I think I left off the name of one of the Tulips I included on the
list I sent her. I originally got it from Thompson and Morgan. I'm
not sure what number you would assign it. It was Tulipa schrenkii ,
synonym Tulipa suaveolens. I suspect I was wanting to check the
spelling of the name and sent the email out not realizing it wasn't
complete.
I don't think Luminita ever gave it a number and don't know if anyone
asked for it.
There are several things wrong with my message. First is I ordered the
bulbs from McClure and Zimmerman (not Thompson and Morgan). When they
came, only one was in good condition. When I wrote and reported this,
they sent me replacements. Only the replacements were a Tulipa clusiana
cultivar (I learned when it flowered.) I potted up the one bulb from the
first batch and it eventually flowered and increased, but didn't really
seem very happy in coastal Northern California so last year I decided to
give it to the BX. I thought I was sending it, but this week what I
thought was the pot of Tulipa clusiana cultivar flowered and it appears
to be Tulipa suaveolens, syn. T. schrenkii, instead. So I suspect the
one I sent was the Tulipa clusiana cultivar I intended to keep. I
thought it looked like photos of 'Tubergen's Gem'. If one of you asked
for it thinking it was something else, I apologize. I'm attaching what
is in flower now.
