Amsterdam, a Dutch Standard from American Meadows. I'm not impressed so far, since it isn't opening up all the way. I think that it might be a fused double scape with 7 buds. The buds are all pointed upward, and much too crowded. Fortuantely a second scape has started, and hopefully it will give me a better idea of what it is supposed to look like.

This bulb was very very slow to get started. I actually thought that it was a dud, until just before Xmas. The scape is also very short.
