It's a deal. And I'll dig some of the ones that are indeed growing in the woods here, and maybe we'll get some genetic diversity from the lot. And lest I forget, the fragrance is great. -----Original Message----- From: pbs-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org [mailto:pbs-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of James Waddick Sent: Thursday, April 27, 2006 7:16 PM To: Pacific Bulb Society Subject: Re: [pbs] Tulip delight - T. sylvestris >In one of those gardens I saw a huge patch of Tulipa sylvestris which >covered several square yards.

They form dense mats of single leaves with few flowers. Dear Jim, Dell et al; Exactly my situation. These shade bulbs are quite small- finger nail size, but transferred to a sunny site and they produce larger blooming plants. I haven't dug one of these sun-growing bulbs, but assume they get bigger too. Jim how about a deal- Let's both send some bulbs to Dell for the bulb exchange. I do have dozens - hundreds? Just a bit of a pain to dig. ......and I'd love to let loose T. whittallii and clusiana chrysantha here too. Go weeds! Jim W. -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd.
