Bulbs for Quick flowers
Bulbs are unique plant structures in that they have two ways of propagating themselves. The first way is by seed, which is the result of a fertilized ovary (the pistil) by the male pollen (the stamens) that are found as parts of the flower. Almost all plants that are grown as bulbs will produce seed this way.
For those looking for the truly unique and different flowers, this is how you discover them – by growing from seed so that new and differing characteristics can be created in future generations. Whether it is growers of tulips, daffodils, iris, lilies, hyacinths or daylilies, pollinating one plant with pollen from another (called controlled breeding or crossing) will hopefully yield new and exciting selections.
