Bulbs Glorious Bulbs linnels farm in association with FLARE&flame Bulbs Glorious Bulbs 20192020 Welcome to our 2020 Bulb Catalogue. It is with joy and excitement that we introduce our 2020 Bulb Catalogue – never has there been a year when spring bulbs, especially our tulips, earned Contents their keep ‘during lockdown’. Weeks of glorious displays and heartfelt emails from many of you saying that these beauties were keeping spirits up in such Alliums 4 trying times. Scented Narcissi 8 Unlike many bulb companies we trial our bulbs both in the south and the north of the UK so consider ourselves well placed to advise on bulb choices, Gift Collections 12 whichever area of the country you call home. The majority of the bulbs we import are top sizes where possible and most importantly we don’t sell any Tulip varieties 20 bulbs that we wouldn’t happily give space to in our own gardens! Our flowering times are a guide – in warmer springs most tulips will flower Early 21 earlier and flowering times will overlap. Mid Season 22 New additions & Reintroductions for 2020 Late 27 Scented Narcissi: we’ve added ‘White Lion’ (p.11) and ‘Campernelle Double’ (p.11) amongst others, to our growing stable of scented narcissi. Show Stoppers 28 These are ‘bang for your buck’ bulbs that naturalise - once the hard work of planting has been done the display gets better and better each year. Hyacinths 30 Tulips: We’ve reintroduced ‘La Belle Époque’ (p.29) - her absence has Little Beauties 32 been felt but it was only when we liaised with an additional bulb grower that we felt we could get the quality we wanted, ‘Cummins’ (p.29) talk about Ornithogalum nutans 36 frilly knickers!, ‘James Last’ (p.27) - a divine washed out blend of smoky purple and pink that’s superb in late afternoon sunshine.

Fritillaria 42 Sabina: “Allium ‘Globemaster’- stately and really long flowering (p.7) & the NEW Rembrandt collection - fabulous, vibrant colours!“ (p.17). Karen: “Tulip ‘Jaap Groot’ (p.21) was a mix of clotted cream and butter and simply got better with age; it was the most shared photo by people who bought it last year. And the lemon scent of ‘Verona’ on those hot spring days Our cover combination - the ‘Dark & Elegant’ Collection (see page 13). was positively refreshing.” (p.34). 2 3 Alliums Alliums are a great investment, reliably flowering each year and are a magnet for bees Allium Allium Allium ‘Mount Everest’ atropurpureum ‘Nigrum’ pure white deepest purple naturalise in grass for a hemispheres wildflower look 90 cm 60 cm 60 cm May - June June May - June 5 @ £10 10 @ £4 10 @ £5 10 @ £17 30 @ £10 30 @ £13 Nectaroscordum Allium Allium cristophii siculum ssp. sphaerocephalon large head of Allium schubertii bulgaricum claret drumsticks star-shaped perfect dotted through lilac flowers amazing - like sliver-purple fireworks bees adore these borders 40 cm 120 cm 50 - 90 cm 60 cm May - June May - June June - July June 5 bulbs @ £10 10 @ £6 40 @ £4 10 @ £6 30 @ £15 100 @ £8 30 @ £15 4 5 Allium ‘Globemaster’ (AGM) We really missed this fabulous Allium so have decided to reintroduce it.

Bulbs will naturalise (divide and spread if left undisturbed in the garden) into larger drifts each year. All varieties on pages 10 and 11 can be planted through grass – just bear in mind that the leaves will need to remain for 6 weeks after flowering. With careful selection you can have a display of scented narcissi from March to late May. The daintier varieties on this page are perfect in the garden or in containers where their divine scent can be appreciated. ‘Sweet Love’ ‘Silver Chimes’ ‘Erlicheer’ unique apricot up to 10 creamy white colouring flowers per stem double flowers 40 cm 35 cm 30 cm April - May April - May March - April 10 @ £7 10 @ £7 10 @ £7 25 @ £15 25 @ £15 25 @ £15 8 9 ‘Acropolis’ ‘Sir Winston ‘Bell Song’ ‘White Lion’ ‘Actaea’ ‘Campernelle’ Churchill’ NEW NEW NEW big double blooms loose clusters with a glorious pale tangerine double, soft yellow cen- Pheasant’s Eye double, scented & over spicy scent spicy scent trumpet tre and long lasting. dating from pre 1919 400 yrs old Late April Mid April April April Late May April - May 40 cm 40 cm 35 cm 35 cm 35 cm 30 cm ‘Bridal Crown’ ‘Thalia’ ‘Laurens Koster’ sweetly scented orchid daffodil NEW double daffodil very elegant up to 7 small flowers per stem April April - May April - May 35 cm 30 cm 35 cm Narcissus ‘Actaea’ naturalised 10 Bulbs £6 25 Bulbs £12 50 Bulbs £22 10 11 FLARE&flame Gift Collections This year we offer 12 colllections...

Although this year has thrown many obstacles our way, we feel that the “show must go on.” In response to the COVID-19 situation, this year will look a little different. For the safety of our members and our customers, this year will be an online pre-order only sale. Our mission stays the same: to support our community’s green spaces, and to educate our community in the areas of gardening, horticulture, conservation, and related topics. GCH members serve as volunteers, and our profits from the Bulb Mart are given back to WELCOME the community in support of our mission. In the last fifteen years, we have given back over $3.5 million in grants to the community! The Garden Club of Houston’s first Plant Sale was held in 1942, on the steps of The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, with plants dug from members’ gardens. Plants propagated from our own members’ yards will be available again this year as well as plants and bulbs sourced from near and far that are unique, interesting, and well suited for area gardens.

  • Review of Taxons from Genus Muscari Cultivated in Department of Ornamental Plants in Szczecin
    Review of taxons from genus Muscari cultivated in Department of Ornamental Plants in Szczecin KRZYSZTOF WRAGA*, Monika Placek Department of Ornamental Plants West Pomeranian University of Technology Janosika 8, 71-424 Szczecin, Poland *corresponding author: e-mail: [email protected] S u m m a r y There is a great disarray in the taxonomy of genus Muscari. About 200 taxons are cul- tivated. Many plant names have their synonyms. The most often cultivated taxons are Muscari armeniacum and M. botryoides. Also M. aucheri and M. latifolium have become more popular. It is difficult to find information on growth, development and hardiness of grape hyacinths. In 2008−2009 in the Department of Ornamental Plants in West Pomeranian University of Technology in Szczecin a collection of taxons from genus Muscari was gathered. M. arme- niacum and its cultivars: ‘Blue Spike’, ‘Cantab’, ‘Heavenly Blue’, ‘Atlantic’, ‘Blue Pearl’ and ‘Fantasy Creation’; M. aucheri and its cultivars ‘Blue Magic’, ‘Dark Eyes’, ‘Mount Hood’, ‘Sky Blue’ and ‘White Beauty’; M. azureum; M. botryoides; M. comosum; M. latifolium; M. macro- carpum; M. muscarimi; M. neglectum and M. ‘Valerie Finnis’ were collected and described in this article. Key words: Muscari, taxon, collection INTRODuCTION Grape hyacinths are popular spring blooming bulbs. Most of them originate from the Mediterranean region and from SE Asia. It is difficult to find how many species of genus Muscari are cultivated. Authors describe from 30 to over 60 species, but new taxons have been described for all the time [1-4, www.home- 3.tiscali.nl/~hennessy/Species%20and%20cultivars.htm, www.paghat.com/garden- Review of taxons from genus Muscari cultivated in Department of Ornamental Plants in Szczecin 349 7hyacinths.html].

Frances Johnston August 2005 FORWARD “In a small section of the garden a tiny weed spoke to the blooms that grew there. ‘Why,’ he asked, ‘does the gardener seek to kill me? Do I not have a right to life? Are my leaves not green, as yours are? Is it too much to ask that I be allowed to grow and see the sun?’ The blooms pondered on this, and decided to ask the gardener to spare the weed. He did so. Day by day the weed grew, stronger and stronger, taller and taller, its leaves covering the other plants, its roots spreading.

Abstract Perennial herbaceous plants in regions that experience winter freezing must survive using belowground structures that can tolerate or avoid frost stress. Soil and plant litter can insulate plant structures from frost exposure, but plants must invest into growth to penetrate through these layers to reach the surface in the spring. The overall goal of my thesis was to test the hypothesis that the protection of overwintering clonal structures by soil or plant litter (frost avoidance) comes at the expense of subsequent reduced growth and competitive ability in absence of freezing stress. I first explored this trade-off with a suite of experiments using plants with bulbs and stem tubers - storage-focused organs that are typically located below the soil surface.
