Single Late Tulip Andre Rieu

Pink Large Cupped Narcissus Sentinel

Allium jesdianum Early Emperor

Welcome to the Fall 2011 John Scheepers Flower Bulb Collection!
We have added dozens of new varieties of premium Dutch flower bulbs that we could not resist~they are detailed below in the scrolling box. Without exception, our new varieties are available in limited supply due to the fact that they are grown by just one Dutch grower. If you are interested in any of these varieties, please reserve them as soon as you receive your catalog in early June to avoid being disappointed. We do not charge credit cards until just prior to fall shipment, so there is no cost associated with reserving your favorites early.

The minimum order requirement remains $35.00 and our shipping charges remain the same as they have been: 10% or 15% of the new flower bulb subtotal based on the address to which the order is being shipped. The minimum shipping remains $6.95. All orders are shipped at the proper time for fall planting by UPS Ground, with the exception of very low weight packages that may be shipped Priority via the United States Postal Service (when the shipping and billing addresses are identical).

with a variable salmon-pink glow and paler, ivory-lemon
‘cheeks’. 16”. (5029)

Triumph Tulip Innuendo: New! This gorgeous hybrid is
whisper-pink with spreading, luminous magenta petal edges.
Its flower is large, its stem quite strong and its foliage
the most beautiful blue-green color, intensifying the
brilliance of its flower. 16”. (5428)

Lily Flowering Tulip Green Star: New! This phenomenal hybrid
has bold green flames more prominent than most Viridiflora
Tulips. It opens chartreuse-white with verdant green flames
backlit lemon-yellow, and matures to bright white with green
flames and yellow accents. Its tapered petals extend into
outstretched arcs like elegant choreographed starbursts. 16”
to 18”. (5385) 
 
Single Late Tulip André Rieu: New! This charmer is pale to
deep fuchsia-purple with intriguing white stripes on the
inner tepals and a darker interior with a blue-edged white

sport is softly semi-double in varying shades of old rose
and tangerine-pink with a more apricot-coral interior. 22”
to 24”. (5528)

Mrs. John T. Scheepers: Back again! Named after Jan Ohms’
aunt, circa 1930, this huge golden-yellow award-winner can
be referred to as the mother-of-all tulips. It is from this
one perfect chalice-shaped variety that many off-spring have
been hybridized~Avignon, Camargue, Dordogne, Francoise, La
Courtine, Maureen, Menton and Renown. She is often said to
be the most perfect of all tulips. 26”. (5554)

(5980)

Trumpet Daffodil Galactic Star: (1d) New! This 2008 Karel
van der Veek hybrid is an absolutely gorgeous reverse
bicolor with a bit of Cyclamineus ancestry. It has gently
reflexed, pale greenish-yellow petals and a greenish-yellow
trumpet that matures to bright white encircled by a
spreading white halo. Sweetly fragrant, Galactic Star’s
long-lasting 4” flower bows down to display its exquisite
funnel-shaped cup edged with a delicately flared and frilled
mouth. Limited supply. Bulb size: 14/16 cm. (8157) 
 
Pink Large Cupped Narcissus Sentinel: (2b) New! Standing
straight up and looking at you, this long-lasting 1972 Grant
Mitsch hybrid subtly changes its intricate coloration as it
matures. The barely open bud can appear golden-yellow, yet
the flower opens with its ruffle-edged cup detailed with
varying rings of saffron-apricot to salmon-pink around a
luminous green eye~all against a 4 1/2”, overlapping white
perianth. It shades-of-pink cup pales as it matures, often
fading to an ivory cup with a pale pink rim toward the end
of its show. Limited supply. 26”. (8462)

Poeticus Narcissus Felindre: New! This fragrant Welsh
heirloom, hybridized by Alexander Wilson, has a bright white
perianth and a vivid disk-shaped cup embellished with a

16”. (8129)

segments and a hazy chartreuse-yellow glow. 14” to 16”.
(8135)

Cyclamineus Narcissus Emcys: New! A 2002 Narcissus Jenny
hybrid courtesy of Holland’s Jan de Winter, this precious
newcomer has a long, straight and narrow stovepipe cup and
dramatically swept-back petals, somewhat like a pristine 2
1/2” shuttlecock shooting through the garden. It opens with
glistening greenish-white petals and a buttercup-yellow
cup~it matures to pure white petals with a champagne-ivory
cup. Emcys can render one speechless over the perfection of
its delicate form. (If you are wondering about its name, it
is an abbreviation of the hybridizer’s early reference to it
in Dutch: Eerste Mooie CYclamineus Seedling~the first
beautiful Cyclamineus seedling.) Early flowering. Limited
supply. Bulb size: 12/14 cm. 10” to 12”. (8119)

charming 3” Grant Mitsch hybrid has one to three precious

three ivory petals overlaid with gently frilled, split
corona petals that subtly blend from apricot-pink to

edge. Plant this 2006 3 1/2” Gerritsen hybrid in filtered
sunlight for the best, most complete, coloration. Limited

soil and full sunlight. Top size. 14” to 16”. (3653)

earlier than other big globe varieties, this A.
rosenbachianum sport has long-lasting 6” globes of starry
violet-purple florets tipped with silver-white stamen atop
strong stems. Bulb size: 16/18 cm. May. 24". HZ: 4-8. (1174)

lilac-white 4” flowers dotted with ivory-tipped raspberry
starbursts and plum and apple-green centers. Very limited
supply. Bulb size: 10/12 cm. Early June. 24” to 26”. HZ:
4-8. (1275)

Asiatic Lily Ivory Pixie: This diminutive gem is pale butter
yellow-ivory with slight spotting that looks like little
russet freckles. (7439)

fragrant, floriferous award-winner has 3” crimson-red
flowers with crisp white margins and green starburst
centers. July/August 5’ to 7’. (7639)

new gem has trumpet-shaped white flowers with fine green
veins emanating from its pronounced green throat. Harvest
bulb size: 18/20 cm. (9462)

Royal Dutch Hybrid Miniature Amaryllis Neon: New! Light up
dark winter nights with this extraordinary new variety that

trumpet-shaped flowers are varying shades of neon
fuchsia-pink with a white throat, a luminous citrus-green
eye, occasional white striations and matching pink anthers.
(9033)

first glance, this brilliant new hybrid appears to be
fuchsia-pink with white highlights and a cyan cast. On
closer inspection, it is more aptly described as bright
white with heavy, yet intricate, fuchsia-pink etched upper
petals and paler pink etched lower petals with a dark
fuchsia-merlot star and striking fuchsia-pink anthers. (9250)
