Terwijl de catalogus wordt samengesteld worden er dage- lijks al vele bloembollen door de kwekers afgeleverd. Het ruikt al weer naar bloembollen, heerlijk. De vers gerooide bollen en knollen in al hun vormen en kleuren liggen straks weer geduldig te wachten totdat zij in de herfst aan de aarde worden toevertrouwd. Tot op de dag van verzending bewaren wij alle bollen onder de juiste condities, niets is voorverpakt. Pas bij het samenstellen van uw order gaan de bolletjes in een zakje, vaak vergezeld van wat cocopeat, vermiculite of houtmot om ze in topconditie bij u af te leveren. Ook dit jaar weer een boekje met een overdaad aan bijzondere bol- en knolgewassen. Alle vele nieuw opgenomen soorten kunt u herkennen aan . Drachtplanten, bij-vriendelijke planten Om het makkelijk te maken geven we met het symbool per geslacht aan waneer de planten voor honingbijen, wilde bijen en hommels aantrekkelijke bloemen hebben, waaruit de insecten nectar en stuifmeel kunnen halen. We doen dit niet per soort, anders zou het op de pagina’s gonzen van de bijen… Nijssen Bulbs Keurmerk Goed nieuws is dat ons Nijssen Bulbs Keurmerk bij steeds meer bolgewassen voorkomt. Indien een product afkomstig is van een kwekerij die ons ervan overtuigd heeft de bedrijfsvoering op een duurzame wijze uit te voeren en daarbij zo veel mogelijk rekening houdt met het milieu, dan geven wij dit in de catalogus aan met het symbool Dit kunnen zij doen doordat zij een keurmerk zoals MPS, FFF of Skal voeren, of omdat zij ons persoonlijk overtuigd hebben zo milieuvriendelijk mogelijk te produceren. Bloembollen- en Siergrassenweekend 24 en 25 september 2016 Een gezellig weekend waarin we een grote collectie siergrassen presenteren en zorgen voor een overvloed aan bijzondere bol- en knolgewassen.

Timo, Siebe, Hugo en Gert-Pieter & Ineke Nijssen Lune Nijssen Op de volgende evenementen zijn wij aanwezig met een representatieve collectie bijzondere bol-en knolgewassen. 10 en 11 september 2016 Hex Festival of Rare Plants, Kasteel Hex, België 24 en 25 september 2016 De Hortus Botanicus, Amsterdam 24 en 25 september 2016 Bloembollen- en Siergrassenweekend in Heemstede 7, 8 en 9 oktober 2016 De Tuindagen van Beervelde, België 9, 10 en 11 juni 2017 Hex Festival of Rare Plants, Kasteel Hex, België 16, 17 en 18 juni 2017 Internationale Kwekerijdagen Bingerden 3 ALLIUM BEHOORT TOT DE FAMILIE DER ALLIACEAE Een ongekend populair bolgewas, eigenlijk logisch, want de grote diversiteit in bloemvorm, grootte, kleur en toepassing is overweldigend en een einde aan de toestroom van nieuwe cultivars is nog niet in zicht. Sieruien laten zich prima combineren met vaste planten en siergrassen in de border. Zowel in een romantische tuin als in een strakke, moderne tuin zijn zij een perfecte aanvulling. Van steeds meer soorten worden bloemen, blad en stengel toegepast in de keuken, de geschikte soorten hebben we op een rijtje gezet op www.nijssenbulbs.nl Het geslacht Allium omvat meer dan 1000 species en cultivars en komt verspreid voor over het Noordelijk Halfrond. Klein- en Midden-Azië, alsook de landen rond het Middellandse Zeegebied en het westen van Noord-Amerika zijn belangrijke groeiplaatsen. In Nederland kennen wij ook enige verwilderde soorten zoals daslook, moeslook en slangenlook. Vele soorten, zowel de oorspronkelijke - alsook de gecultiveerde - alliums hebben ondergronds een bol, die afhankelijk van de soort een omtrek kan bereiken van zo’n 3 cm tot wel 40 cm. Andere soorten, waaronder enige kruiden en groenten, hebben ondergronds een verdikte wortel, ook wel ’schacht’ genoemd. De kleinbollige alliums, maar ook de alliums die een verdikte wortel vormen, zijn zeer geschikt voor verwildering. De grofbollige alliums kunnen meerdere jaren in de grond blijven. Hoelang is afhankelijk van de grondsoort. Op een doorlatende zandgrond blijven de sieruien het langst goed, hoewel de bloemen in de loop van de jaren kleiner worden. Als u niet meer tevreden bent over de grootte van de bloemen, kunnen de bollen na de bloei gerooid worden. De bewaartemperatuur ligt rond de 23-25 graden. In november kunnen ze weer worden geplant, liefst op een ander plekje in verband met mogelijk aanwezige ziektekiemen. Allium acuminatum Verzameld door Art Guppy in British Columbia, Canada. De naam ‘Acuminatum’ heeft betrekking op de schikking van de binnenste bloemblaad- jes, die in tegenstelling tot de buitenste blaadjes teruggebogen spitse segmenten zijn die over het vruchtbeginsel zijn geplaatst. Het bloemscherm bestaat uit 10 tot 30 bloempjes die in kleur varië- ren van donkerroze tot donkerlila. Vanaf het begin van de bloei in juli tot in de herfst is het belangrijk dat de bollen op een droge plaats staan. Bestelnr. 8001 3 st. 4.95 5 st. 7.50 !20-30 @7-8 #10 $6-8 %I. Z 4 Allium albidum (Synoniem: A. ammophilum, A. flavescens, A. angulosum var. caucasicum en A. denudatum) Een zomerbloeiend sieruitje met een luchtig bolvormig bloemtrosje waarin de bijna witte bloempjes op de achterzijde van de bloemen een roze zweem hebben. Opvallend zijn de uitste- kende meeldraden. In het wild wordt A. albidum aangetroffen in de Balkan tot aan de Kaukasus, Iran en Turkije, op zanderige bodem en in rotsach- tige gebieden. Mogelijk bestaat het aanbod uit de subspecies A. albidum subsp. caucasicum. Bestelnr. 6451 3 st. 4.95 5 st. 7.50 !20-30 @7 #10 $6-8 %I. Z Allium altissimum Intro: 1884. A. altissimum treffen we nog aan in Centraal-Azië, het noordoosten van Iran, maar ook in het noordwesten van Afghanistan. Een specta- culaire allium die zijn niet al te grote, 10-12 cm in doorsnede paarse bolvormige bloemen op stevige tot 2 meter hoge stelen draagt. Fantastisch tussen hoge siergrassen waarbij de bloemen tussen het loof van het gras een verrassende combinatie vormen. Bestelnr. 8003 5 st. 4.95 10 st. 9.50 !200 @5-6 #30 $15 %18 Z-L Allium ‘Ambassador’ Inmiddels heeft deze schitterende selectie van Kwekerij A. Langedijk uit Zwaagdijk een vooraanstaande plaats in het huidige assor- timent sieruien bemachtigd. De kruisingsou- ders zijn Allium stipitatum x Allium giganteum.

Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Science and Technology 911. 33 pp. Uppsala. ISBN 91-554-5814-9 This thesis concerns the history and the intrafamilial delimitations of the plant family Colchicaceae. A phylogeny of 73 taxa representing all genera of Colchicaceae, except the monotypic Kuntheria, is presented. The molecular analysis based on three plastid regions—the rps16 intron, the atpB- rbcL intergenic spacer, and the trnL-F region—reveal the intrafamilial classification to be in need of revision. The two tribes Iphigenieae and Uvularieae are demonstrated to be paraphyletic. The well-known genus Colchicum is shown to be nested within Androcymbium, Onixotis constitutes a grade between Neodregea and Wurmbea, and Gloriosa is intermixed with species of Littonia. Two new tribes are described, Burchardieae and Tripladenieae, and the two tribes Colchiceae and Uvularieae are emended, leaving four tribes in the family. At generic level new combinations are made in Wurmbea and Gloriosa in order to render them monophyletic. The genus Androcymbium is paraphyletic in relation to Colchicum and the latter genus is therefore expanded.

Again, we are coming to you with a new catalogue and again we are including many new varieties in it, probably not so many as we would like, but our stocks do not increase as fast as the demand for our bulbs. We hope for many more novelties in the next catalogue. Last season we had one more successful expedition – we found and collected 3 juno irises never before cultivated (we hope that they will be a good addition to our Iris collection) and many other nice plants, too. In garden we experienced a very difficult season. The spring came very early – in the first decade of April the temperature unexpectedly rose up to +270 C, everything came up, flowered and finished flowering in few days and then during one day the temperature fell as low as –80 C. A lot of foliage was killed by a returned frost. As a result the crop of bulbs was very poor. The weather till the end of June was very dry – no rain at all, only hot days followed by cold nights. But then it started to rain. There were days with the relative air humidity up to 98%. The drying of harvested bulbs was very difficult. I was forced to clean one of my living rooms in my house, to heat it and to place there the boxes with Allium and Tulipa bulbs to save them from Penicillium.

  • Bulb Log 3818
    SRGC ----- Bulb Log Diary ----- ISSN 2514-6114 Pictures and text © Ian Young BULB LOG 38.....................19th September 2018 Autumn Colchicum I feature a portrait of Colchicum agrippinum on the cover to show how the autumn flowering colchicum can flower without water; in fact they do not even need to be planted to know when to flower. I would not recommend this as the ideal treatment but it is fun to observe the growth like this. I will plant this as the flowers fade and the roots will grow when they detect water. I have more than one form of Colchicum agrippinum - this planting is the same clone as the one shown on the cover and it is more prolific in its rate of increase than the other form which, in my view, has the better marked flowers. Colchicum agrippinum Note the paler, less distinct tessellations of the Colchicum agrippinum flowers above compared to the form below which also has dark style, filaments and pollen this form also has more rounded tips to the petals. It is suggested that Colchicum agrippinum is a hybrid between C. variegatum and C. autumnale and it is entirely possible that there is more than one such hybrid. Colchicum agrippinum Colchicum tessellated hybrid The naming of cultivated forms of colchicum, as with so many plants, can become confused and you will find lots of very similar looking plants being distributed under different names. While I understand the need for order I have a relaxed attitude to cultivar names and if I like a plant I am happy to grow it without the need to know its name.

What did remain, though, was the collecting seed, planting those innumerable same sense of wonder on seeing the first pots which seem to gather at the doorstep of bloom on a new plant or new seedlings in a every collector. Just maybe, I'll be ready to seed pot which has been with me for the 30 move inside when the inevitable winter plus years I've been gardening.

  • Autumn Crocus, Colchicum Spp. the Word Crocus Usually Conjures Images of Cheerful Small fl Owers Emerging from Snow and Ice As the fi Rst Harbinger of Spring
    A Horticulture Information article from the Wisconsin Master Gardener website, posted 12 Sept 2011 Autumn Crocus, Colchicum spp. The word crocus usually conjures images of cheerful small fl owers emerging from snow and ice as the fi rst harbinger of spring. But there are a few species of the genus Crocus, part of the iris family (Iridaceae), that bloom in the fall, and other fall-blooming bulbs that have the word crocus in their common name. In the US, the commonly called “Autumn Crocus” is not a true crocus at all, but species or hybrids of Colchicum, a group of fall-fl owering bulb in the lily family (Lilaceae). Other common names for these plants include meadow saffron, naked lady and colchicum. The genus has been used medicinally – it contains the alkaloid colchicine which relieves the pain and infl ammation of gout – but because it is quite toxic when ingested, its use is not recommended except by professionals. Autumn crocus in bloom. C. autumnale is one of the most commonly grown autumn crocus, but other species, particularly C. speciosum, which is a parent of many of the showy hybrids, are also often available. The taxonomy of this genus is rather confused, and misnaming often occurs in the trade, so many of the so-called species in cultivation are actually hybrids of unknown origin. For example, C. bysantinum, with large corms that produce multiple fl ower stalks, is probably really a sterile hybrid of C. cilicicum, sometimes offered as C. autumnale ‘Major’. Although there are about 65 species worldwide, the few that are common in the ornamental industry are very similar in appearance and cultivation.
