I still can't remember where I planted 'Lady Beatrix Stanley' -so it'll be a lovely surprise when she appears...somewhere! lol

Beautiful...

I was just saying to OH that I can't believe that I've forgotten what bulbs I planted where in the autumn! The good thing is it always gives me a lovely surprise when stuff comes up! It's lovely to see the first Iris. These are definitely February plants here, but I am really pleased to see yours....plus, I don't have any this year! ;)

These are beautiful. We are weeks behind you in spite of the weather.

A real pleasure to see, Ive lots of bulbs appearing but like Karen can't remember which is which lol

Our collective memories are't too good, are they? LOL.

So nice to see these. I always feel a sense of relief when I see the spring bulbs flowering :o)

How lovely to see this Iris, have no idea where any of ours are, because we constantly change the garden they could be anywhere.......

27 Jan, 2013

 

I 'think' I planted some in the pots by the front door, so I could see them as I go in and out...but the others? No idea. :-(

It is such a treat when these lovely bulbs appear after a terrible winter. My bulbs are still quite small but the Helebores are further on.

28 Jan, 2013

 

A few days ahead of mine too!

29 Jan, 2013

 

It was so wet (again!) yesterday that I forgot to go and look to see if any more are in flower. Both - Hellebores and Irises.

29 Jan, 2013

 

Oh! that's beautiful .....

I'm looking forward to planting some the autumn/winter.

30 Jan, 2013

 

Yes, do - more of mine are opening every day. Such a pleasure. :-))

Tip no 1 - plant them deeply. Tip no. 2 - GCs sell them in little pots at this time of year so if you want a few now, you could! :-D)

Lovely Iris Spritz, can't wait for mine to flower. Hope they don't make me wait too long!

1 Feb, 2013

 

Thanks - keep watching - they seem to open overnight!

I notice Pauline are pushing up through in a big bowl I have had outside all winter. Have not noticed any others yet.

2 Feb, 2013

 

I'm sure I've got Pauline somewhere...I must look at my 'garden' list.

3 Feb, 2013

 

This is a beautiful Iris, Spritz! I don't have any Irises on my balcony though Gerry has some Bearded Irises on the allotment.

3 Feb, 2013

 

Can't you even squeeze a few in one of your containers?

4 Feb, 2013

 

I could, but I empty them all twice a year as I use bedding plants in them. I don't think they would take too kindly to being lifted in May, kept somewhere dry during the summer & then being planted out again in October.

Daffs don't seem to mind it nor do Crocuses

5 Feb, 2013

 

No - they don't -I get a few new ones for my containers each year, but they're inexpensive and well worth it. :-)

6 Feb, 2013

 

the only one I have in flower at the moment is Shelia Ann Germany. I can see leaves of Beatrix Stanley.

these are so joyful arent they.

11 Feb, 2013

 

I don't know Sheila - but Beatrix is opening - well, I think it's her! :-))

11 Feb, 2013

 

I have posted a photo of it :o)

11 Feb, 2013

 

Thanks - I'll take a look. :-)
