Planting of the Autumn Flowering bulbs

 

…ah, it’s been a while since I last began a post with that lead-in, pinched rather blatantly from Justin Hayward’s “Forever Autumn” and yes, this is my favourite time of year!

So for the first time ever, I managed to procure some bulbs which ‘should’ flower before November…I’m not that confident as that’s really not far away now, but we’ll see.

Colchicum Autumnale Album	3
Colchicum Dick Trotter	1
Crocus Sativus (Saffron)	15
Crocus Speciosus	15

 

These have been planted facing east, on the Eastern Border (facing the ‘Manner House’) so as to get early morning sun and so that I can see them from inside the living room – sat on the couch if I’m lucky!
