Daffidol bulbs in bowl

That looks interesting Irish.

What are they doing in there, Irish????

aye Hywel, seen it in my new book so thought id try it.
the bulbs are just barely sitting in the water

I put hyacinths (spelling?) in a big bowl with glass beads a couple of years ago ... they were fab.. never thought to try it with daffs.. now you've got me going girl....

hopefully growing Spritz lol

aw cool Sal, glad it worked with your bulbs. you gona try it again with daffs?

What happens when they grow tall? Won't they fall over????

kinda hard to see in this photo, but the bowl is pretty deep

Thats interesting , I have a bowl of marbles wonder if it will work with them !

OK. Looks quite shallow in the photo. You must have been leaning over!!!

Ok ticked a like bulbs in a bowl ? Must be my Irish genes.

~Hydroponics Eileen?~What's the book called?

lol it must be Bonkers

the book is called 101 garden projects,,,, its a gardeners world book Arlene

Eileen, youve got me looking for a suitable bowl now how deep does the bowl and the water need to be?

it doesn't say how deep the bowl should be , just says a deep, wide bowl or a jar, some pebbles or glass stones or even gravel . put a layer of stones in the base, push the bulbs into the stones enough to hold them and then add water to just below the bulb, top up when necessary

The place where I buy my bulbs has these all over the place with various types of bulbs and different sizes and shapes of bowls.

you gona get one Newfienurse?

~ wonder what an arrangement of tete a tete mini daffodils would look like?The more enclosed it is the moister the environment-did you have your bowl already or did you buy especially Eileen?
A while ago the shops in London were doing big round goldfish looking bowls with coloured calla lilies wrapped around inside-looked really classy!

i would say tete a tete daff's would look brilliant done this way Arlene.
i already had the bowl, there was some very tired looking potpourri in it

Might give this a try myself , whats the next project then ?

aye Janette give it a go.
my next project is to go and do the councils work for them by cutting back all branches over hanging the roads lol

Good project, might save somebody from, getting a black eye lol

~still feeling lousy as is the whole family-but when I'm feeling better I will be heading to Wyevale!~good luck with the branches!
The local farmer cuts the hedges back in a truly draconian fashion which leaves the wood all battle scarred and bare and I usually can't wait for them to grow! ~ our local council sends out a cherry picker to cut the overhanging ones as the bus company runs double deckers but sometimes we get such winds there are quite big branches in the road-must be dangerous for you with the learners?

lol cheers janette

aw Arlene , i hope you are feeling better soon

~thanks Eileen
~the weather is dry and I wish i could get out ino the garden ~but I start to feel shivery and very fragile so just wanting it to go away so that I can do things!~
Got my own brand of biological warfare! trouble is it's winning!

the garden will wait for you Arlene, just make sure you are fully well before doing anything out there

~thanks Eileen!

He he Irish cutting down branches for the council - that d be on trunk roads then, save the government ( small g due to cut backs ) a job they ve been cutting branches everywhere.

Sorry to hear you not feeling well Arlene.Get well soon.x

lol i was fixing a puncture yesterday Bonkers and nearly got my eye taking out with a over hanging branch

no Irish, I won't be getting any, I'm thinking that come spring, I will have enough bulbs to look at! lol...take pictures of the blooms, please!

lol true i think you have more than enough bulbs there

This is a good idea.I have one of those bowls somewhere,used to have an african violet in mine plus I have some glass pebbles though mine are blue.I think they will look lovely when they are in flower.

thanks Tina

This looks very pretty even without the Daffs Eileen :) Cant wait2see it in full bloom itl look Stunning i bet :)

aww thanks Jacque

Hope you did'nt flush the goldfish down the loo, lol. Great idea,

thanks FF, no, you will be glad to hear the goldfish are alive and well and living in the pond lol

Seems like your Gardeners world book is one I'm going to be looking out for Eileen. Definitely got some good, practical and not expensive ideas !! Love to see the bulbs in flower

im looking forward to seeing them too joannie

I was given a glass trough with glass pebbles and paper white narcissus bulbs a few years ago, it made a lovely display, this will be really pretty when the flowers appear!

looking forward to when the flowers appear Madmum
