The bulbs we planted haven't as yet flowered and don't show any signs of doing so - just loads of leaves - that's why we bought some locally and they have been lovely. I guess it isn't to late to buy as I have seen plenty in the shops and garden centres I don't know about planting them though:)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-28891636406545994392014-01-22T15:46:19.267+00:002014-01-22T15:46:19.267+00:00What gorgeous flowers Rosie, and such a pick-me-up...What gorgeous flowers Rosie, and such a pick-me-up when the weather is so dull and miserable outside. I love tulips. I had some beautiful hyacinths a few weeks ago and love their fragrance but they didn't last long. I wonder if it's too late to plant some more as they give me such a lift. xPatriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116574112768767203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-13853381552712316322014-01-22T14:14:56.687+00:002014-01-22T14:14:56.687+00:00Thanks, Marianne - it is nice to see some colour a...Thanks, Marianne - it is nice to see some colour at this time of year:)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-16522075825611335592014-01-21T17:31:26.874+00:002014-01-21T17:31:26.874+00:00Lovely bright colours, and all looking so healthy ...Lovely bright colours, and all looking so healthy too.

This is the third year it has flowered. I'm afraid I just leave the plant to get on with it - I don't do anything other than water it and occasionally brush off the little cobwebs that gather in between the stalks and leaves.
