This web site contains photographs of the bulbs in my collection which have flowered while in my care. (They are not all still alive!)

Most are seed grown, with some purchased and others gifts from friends or swaps. The collection has been building for fifteen years, and has now filled all available space in my small suburban garden. All the bulbs growing under glass are in deep pots with very well drained compost (2/3grit-sand 1/3loam). The greenhouse has additional cold white light from 8am to 6pm from autumn to spring. In the unheated frames, bulbs grow in
clay pots which are
plunged to their rims, and the glass is left off until flowering commences
or sustained Watering & feeding (with a dilute mix of sulphates of ammonia, potash & magnesium) is carried out about every fortnight in the growing season, with occasional alternating feeds of dilute seaweed compound. |
