Jon, well done! It’s fun to grow something that’s rarely seen in gardens where one resides but recognizable to nearly everyone (the genus, not the species (!!), of course). The little tulips are my favorites. > On Mar 22, 2018, at 9:05 AM, Jonathan Poss <jposs@stetson.edu> wrote: > > Hi Everyone, > > I am new to the PBS and thought I'd share a bit of an accomplishment to kick off spring. Since I was 10 years old, Tulips have been one of my favorite flowers. However, as I've lived most of my life in Central Florida, they have not been a part of my plant collection, until now. > > I have attached several pictures of Tulipa clusiana currently coming into bloom in my garden. Although it is widely considered unnecessary for this species, due to the highly variable winter and spring weather of my region, I went ahead and vernalized the bulbs for 8 weeks. Potted up 4 weeks ago, they have endured nighttime lows below freezing, daytime highs in the mid 80's, torrential rain and even hail. As this is an unusual site for my neck of the woods, I thought I’d share! > > > Regards, > > JON POSS > DeLand, Florida > USDA Hardiness Zone 9A > AHS Heat Zone 9 > -------------- next part -------------- > A non-text attachment was scrubbed... > Name: IMG_9705-7LR.jpg > Type: image/jpeg > Size: 1319442 bytes > Desc: IMG_9705-7LR.jpg > URL: <http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/pipermail/pbs/…> > -------------- next part -------------- > A non-text attachment was scrubbed... > Name: IMG_9723-3LR.jpg > Type: image/jpeg > Size: 1247044 bytes > Desc: IMG_9723-3LR.jpg > URL: <http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/pipermail/pbs/…> > -------------- next part -------------- > A non-text attachment was scrubbed... > Name: IMG_9767LR.jpg > Type: image/jpeg > Size: 1384958 bytes > Desc: IMG_9767LR.jpg > URL: <http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/pipermail/pbs/…> > -------------- next part -------------- > A non-text attachment was scrubbed... > Name: IMG_9783-8LR.jpg > Type: image/jpeg > Size: 1290541 bytes > Desc: IMG_9783-8LR.jpg > URL: <http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/pipermail/pbs/…> > _______________________________________________ > pbs mailing list > pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net > http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/…
