    Narcissi bulbs can go in in September/October, and Tulips are best left til November.

    I've never lifted cyclamen, so not sure about them, and if they are the neopolitan, then it could be that they need to go in now????

    thanbks Fran, don't know what cyclamen it is, just that it's a minituare and I got it last year, then let it dry out when finished flowering, I'll pot it up now and see what happens.

    Take a picture of it if it starts into growth, and we may be able to ID it.

    :D It certainly helps :D

    There's a topic about posting pictures into messages - using photobucket, a free picture storing website. But if you get into difficulty, then let us know.

    thanks again Fran. I'm taking my grandson back home to Scotland tomorrow so I'll be away for a couple of weeks. I'll be in touch when I get back and maybe you'll give me a hand with the photos?
