Re: search -bulbs for Turkey

Off the subject as this might be I can't help but respond to Richard's dig about "Constantinople."
In Greece, and I assume in Turkey as well, it is general practice (and I'm talking about "scholarly" texts as opposed to propaganda-type journalism) to call  the city  "Constantinople" in any context referring to pre-twentienth century times, and "Istanbul" in any modern context.  The renaming postdated the conquest by many many years.

For the tulipa, you might try Hoog and Dix in Holland.  I don't have an address, but they should not be hard to find.  I was told that the Int. Bulb Society has ordered from them.  I'm sure your reference to Constantinople was only historical . . .
