Re: BULB: reticulata predation


Not having ever grown I. reticulata, I have no definitive answer.  
But I do know that when the first tulips emerge here, the bunnies are 
starved for something green, and they chew off the leaves as well as 
sometimes the buds.  Since they do not like veggies when dusted with 
my insecticide powder, I gave the tulips a shot of that today in 
hopes that they'll survive the rascally rabbit rampage!  Maybe this 
is the reticulata problem, too.  If so, dust them!
