But P, thats not fair coz it's your fault I have so many, you tempted me with the Parrot ones last year ;D I never did get any of those sweet little ones that LP likes  this year I'll make sure they are on my list  I'd like to have all my pots of bulbs out on display ready for when they flower, but there is too much going on with the summer house being built. I'm cluttered up everywhere atm and nothing pot wise is where it should be really Couple of weeks time I'll be a bit straighter and will get organised |

The Ballerina ones? They really are worth getting I guess I am being unfair, but if we've got room for more pots of tulips that means there must be room for pots of clematis!!! I think I might have to go and count how many pots of tulips we have. I think there must be about 10 now. I'm not going out right now though because it's pouring with rain! I can't wait to see piccies of the finished summer house |

Thats them P Ballerina, they are lovely. Can't fault you on the room for more Clems in pots ;D I have this theory though, I always lose some of my older pots over the frosty weather so it pays to have a few in reserve for planting in  It's sooooooo easy to get carried away with pots  especially when you come across bargains. New pics of the summer house progress yesterday ;D gardenworld.proboards103.com/index.cgi?board=chat&action=display&thread=4329&page=3#142352 |

It's great when something you planted months ago starts to take off and start to flower Chuckles is'nt it. It is really exciting genie, hope some more have come up for you. I love the scent of wallflower Blacky, just lovely. I can just see the little flower buds starting to come through from my muscari, can't wait to see them Was away all last week, walked past my pots on Friday night & all my wee daffies are out, loads of snowdrops, rest of the crocus & tulips well on the way! What a welcome home! ;D |

You had some lovely colour going on there LNG. Some of mine are now going over or gone my early Tulips and those tiny daffs also the Paper Whites are all done now. Yesterday I nipped the seed heads off so they are not wasting energy producing seed. Gave the pots a feed to help them be nice for next year and then I put them at the side of the shed till next year. Still got lots of Tulips to come into flower |

Thank you so much for those nominations Chuckles and Nightowl. ;D I'm really chuffed. ;D It's been a great treat to me to look out and see those lovely spring bulbs emerge from nothing to the lovely flowers they are now. Violas and pansies are such great little sturdy plants, I wouldn't be without them. |

this year I'll make sure they are on my list 
It's sooooooo easy to get carried away with pots 
especially when you come across bargains.
