According to a UK site, Lady Jane tulips "characteristically have a tuft of soft hairs protruding at the apex." Sounds to me like they're fuzzy on top. Smiling

Good question...I always wonder too. When I take long cuttings that can be made smaller I always take a marker with so I can make an arrow pointing to the top. The brain is sometimes short Whistling Hilarious! Whistling

Defiantly the fuzzy part at the top is the top of the bulb. I planted many clusiana types this fall including Lady Jane and they all had fuzzy tops like that.

>> When I take long cuttings

I read a book about cuttings, and that author always made the bottom cut square (perpendicular), and the top one slanting. Or maybe it was vice-versa.

But she knew which was which.
Just because it ISN'T complicated doesn't mean I can't MAKE it complicated!

Confused guess she had her system, but for me if I make an up arrow then there is no question and the mark on the cutting does not hurt it. I also do this if I am cutting brugs...write the name on the cutting

Gin, you should do a tip about that.
I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown
