They're a great colour Barbara. I should have taken a pic of mine before I gave them all to The Plum Man.  |

Oh yes I see it Jasmine, they're lovely are'nt they. Lisa bought me a few bunches from M&S yesterday and they've opened out today. I got some for a couple of sets of neighbours who have been poorly to cheer them up a bit. |

That will definitely cheer them up Ladygardener, especially in this cold and snow - nothing like a little splash of yellow. |

Jasmine, when I first started planting Narcissus bulbs at the plot the idea was to use them for cutting. Well, I think I've brought some home twice or three times, they look so good growing in the ground, I'm rubbish at cutting them.

I plant lots of things to cut then hardly ever do Ladygardener! A lot of the daffodils are frozen flat - I hope they recover otherwise there will be a lot of daffodils to cut for the house! |

Yes mine are the same Jasmine, makes me think I should have brought home the ones at the plot after all. The little Tete a Tete are standing up ok 'tho. |

I always enjoy my first of the season daffs , they are lovely Rosefriend, they will brighten up the room, I love the amarilis as well, I only now have leaves on mine they don't show any sign of wilting ! and I haven't watered it since the flowers went over over 6 weeks ago its been in the cold conservatory ever since. |

Barbara, Rosefriend, both lovely. I'm always afraid to bring mine indoors in case there are earwigs in them.

Seemed a shame to bung the iceberg roses in the brown bin, they smell lovely, but are staying outside because I did spot an earwig in one of them!  |

Last weekend I bought a reduced bouquet in Waitrose and then split it up as I wasn't sure about tulips and roses together so I got these....  I love the way tulips do their own thing! Also got 14 roses but they haven't all made it to this weekend so this is what is left...  |

Also brought some snowdrops in from the garden...  |

It's so lovely to have fresh flowers in the house especially at this time of year. Love those Snowdrops, I love how Tulips move themselves as well, no standing up straight for them.

I bought 4 lovely lemon polyanthus to plant in a pot by the front door , left them standing on top as I meant to buy some compost !! I couldnt get out to buy it so they are now in the greenhouse as they were covered in snow this morning. My small bulbs outside are stretching as well Dutchy, I can just see yellow tips on the crocus  I thought I had bought a blue mix.!!! |

Post by Dutchy on Feb 3, 2019 8:21:41 GMT
Ah maggy, sometimes one buys bulbs in good faith and then some oaf who did the packing goofed. I have had that with Dahlia too. And yes, I always go back and complain. With some luck your yellow tip is yellow because the cold got to it and it froze so instead of one healthy crocus you see a rotten one. That would at least mean the rest is going to be blue. |
