Last year I put them in a big box, let the leaves die back and then gave them away - but I've found an area in the garden where I can plant some,so that's what's happening this year!

hi there...this is just beautiful... i don't have any bulbs in my little postage stamp so maybe i will use your inspiration to plant up something for next spring.... but i am a complete novice ... have you chosen bulbs that all take the same length of time to flower or is it more like producing a wonderful roast dinner so that everything is ready together?... ie joint on first because it takes the longest, then roasties, then yorkshire puds then veg then gravy... i don't think i've explained myself very well! i hope you understand what i mean .... i also loved the photo of your arch...

regards

Thank you - I'll try to explain what I do.

In the autumn, I choose bulbs which should flower at the same time, with one type a little taller than the other.

I plant them in layers, of the same bulbs on each layer, close together, with compost on top of each layer.

On the top I plant a central small conifer or upright grass and winter pansies which look good right through the winter. Then the bulbs come up and there we are! Does that make sense?
