The galanthus is the most-surprising! Who knew?
I never realized that there was such symmetry before!
I hadn’t heard of winter daffodils before – I love the folk name. I can’t remember seeing them either.
Think I first saw them on Chloris’ blog and now I’ve finally seen them in the flesh! (Sorry, was thinking about the Naked Ladies)
Nature finds a way to make the best of shortening days at both ends of the season with flowers.. Lovely shots
So true and thx
Fuller’s Mill has beauties all year round. I find Sternbergia doesn’t always bloom again, I have several clumps but only a few flowers.
Yes, I really like their planting … it’s like a wonderland. Interesting to hear about sternbergias in practice though. Thanks
My neighbour has a lovely collection which until very recently I did not know existed. Autumn flowering bulbs seem equally delightful don’t you think? I shall have to try some myself.
That’s my plan too! Colchicums first I think.
Colchicum are lovely and I left my few that I had purchased at chatto
I left some at my last garden. Shame as I purchased them at Beth Chattos garden many years ago. Shall try again
Oh what a shame. Let’s hope the new owners are loving them!
Oh yes I do hope so (but suspect not)
