Is the sandbox the right place to post that here?
So i was in amsterdam for 3 days and its really cool there. People are nice , food good there and climate is nice.
The houses there are really thight but its okay
One the first day i went to the bloemenmarkt and bought so many bulbs.
I can show you what i got.

A belladonna lily

A crinum

A scadoxus multiflorus

A cycas palm

Two amaryllis papilio










They also sold "blue" amaryllis but they photoshoped the poster, the bulbs were only normal amaryllis bulbs.

Everybody knows that the worsleya is blue.


I spent like 20 euros.

You have quite a nice group of bulbs for 20 euros! There is a bulb forum on NGA where you may want to share your photo.

Good for you! What fun! Make sure we get pictures once they bloom!

Yes. Photos.

I did not think plants could be carried back to USA. Makes me mad I did not do that ..saw some nice plants in germany and switzerland.

The bulbs are supposed to be certified, if not, you take the chance of them being confiscated coming into the country. I used to go to AMS on a routine basis, there used to be only 1 dealer that carried the certified bulbs, if I remember when looking at the bloemenmarkt (floating market), it was the next to the last vendor on the left. Additionally the boxes and packages they came in would have a hologram tag on the certificated ones.

@foussi is not living in the USA. He is 15 yrs old and lives in Vienna.

Info only, the ag dogs are pretty impressive.

We were allowed to take the bulbs to vienna.

Thats great! The floating market has some great bulbs! The info I posted was for those wanting to bring bulbs into the US and then being disappointed when they were confiscated. Post photos when your bulbs are up and growing!!!!
