        I think in a few days time I will have lots to share, but for now, this Helleborus niger flower seems to be perfect :) IMG_0897.jpg

            My two old recycling boxes filled with mini narcissi (all these cost just £1.98), with muscari just budding and bluebells to follow. All providing protection for some hardy fuchsias. WP_20150405_002.jpg

                      @longk Uvularia and Erythonium two of my favourite plants, never had luck with either myself. Lovely to see them thanks.

                      Chuck them in and they grow :heehee: However, I appear to have lost my Polygonatum which grows like a weed for everyone else :wallbanging:

                            Ooh, are they? Happy to be corrected if I'm wrong. They were just part of a big bag of mixed daffodil and narcissi bulbs that I planted last autumn in various part of the garden so I couldn't be sure which was going to come up where as there were so many different bulbs. Pretty though, aren't they, wish there had been more of them.
