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. Mary Sue -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
