                        OCD, Dorothy thats all I will say more money than sense , well to all of us anyway.
                        Especially with snowdrops can be fussy little :spinning: burgers I have atkinsi started off with two bulbs and 5 years later now have 4 !! and they didnt flower this year



                        We should do a thread on here for us see how much we paid for one plant , I have paid £25.00 for 1 daylily I thought I was mad doing that.
