Where to plant the bulbs

Hi People :D

I have been given:

45 Yellow cheerfulness double bloom narcissi and 50 tet-a-tete dafs.

Only problem is they are ALL yellow.

The garden is large and i love yellow but how many do you reckon i should plant in a clump?

I want them to naturalise but not overwhelm, i am thinking some in pots and roughly 60 in the garden.

Any idea's on what would look stricking either mixed in or next to them?

 

Hi paula, i usually stick em in anywhere usually 5 or 6 in a clump, never been disappointed yet,i have to do it all over again this year as we dug loads up when we were renovating,isnt it great after the long winter to see these beuties... ooo and the tulips to replace too.. forgot about them..DEE

 

YDD,

Have you thought about Anjelique Tulips and Blue diamond tulips?

J Parkers are doing a special offer on those:

:D

 

I havn,t thought about tulips 4 along time paula, there lovely and the black ones caught my eye too, never realised there were so many... read today in sunday mag praestens fusilier 6in tall with 6 flowers per stem and Antoinette with upto 10 flowers per stem.. how cool is that

 

YDD, tell you what lets have a pot off (english equivalent of a bake off in the states)

When they are all in flower we can post the pic's - you show me yours and i'l show you mine :D

Hope there are no squirrels about, every bulb I plant the tree rats find and eat.

 

Hiya Keving,

Plenty of squirrels around here but i don't sleep much so a bit like Elmer Fudd i can sit at the window wiv me catapult :D

 

Paula

Like the sound of that, if you have time come over to mine and you can pick them off. Not bulbs, but second year running sunflowers are not good for anything, thanks to tree rats.

 

I'm on me way Keving,

Just heading up M1 now wiv me catapult and night vision goggles :D

 

YDD,

Check out this one, rather nice if i do say so myself :D

Paula, i will have the kettle on, or if you prefer something stronger!

 

It could be pretty intense so have a filter coffee with a drop of rum in it waiting :D

 

I've got loads of tete-a-tete daffs which I tend to plant in groups of 5 or 7. They go really well with dark blue hyacinths, I think.

Won't be doing me tulips just yet, will wait till November.

 

Tiarella,

Join the club I have 75 of them to put out and am also going for a blue with them, i'm going for Muscari Armeniacum, will look unusual together, i like unusual.

Look forward to seeing your pics once they are in bloom :D

 

that sounds good paula and Tiarella might try that.. blue and yellow Mmmmm. And Keving your cruel poor squirrels :( paula stop encouraging him
