These were the bulbs I planted in the Autumn. Top left is the Grape Hyacinth or Muscari latifolium. Here it is in the front pots.
liniiThey were quite disappointing, probably because more need planting together. I found that I had planted one this end of the main border so this is where they have all been replanted.
The bulbs top middle are the Iris reticulata planted in pots at the back. Not a sign so written off. Top right is the Camassia leichtlinii Caerulea. Quite a mouthful but what a find, late flowering but glorious in the main border.
The fact that they compliment the maroon Aliums and yellow Iris so well is purely accidental.
Bottom left is the Fritillaria meleagris. Planted in the far border they may be better next year.
Finally the Anemone Bordeaux were planted in two big pots at the back. Not altogether a success but late flowering. Perhaps they needed deadheading sooner.
So a mixed result of these experiments. Obviously the Camassia has been the star and not yet at it's best. We will see how the others get on next year now out in the borders. I will stick to tulips in pots in future.
