Just chuck them in ! ...

Wow Hywel ! They are amazing ! I worry when I put the bulbs in to make sure they are right way up, but not anymore !

They look perfect Hywel and make me smile.

Mine however, (which were carefully put in place) haven't done nearly as well as yours!
I now know what to do next time though!!

I think they look better when they are random like this.

They look lovely Hywel. I have driven miles today and saw so many crocus looking stunning in the Welsh sunshine. Still not many daffs though.

Thats certainly the way to do it Hywel, they look lovely...

Looks wonderful Hywel I thin I ll have mine chucked in next time if they come up like yours. :0))

You have the magic touch Hywel - they look gorgeous.

Super display Hywel, that's the way to do it (as Mr Punch would say!!) Lovely mix of colours too :o)

Looking lovely,Hywel..I think most of us have planted these with care,but apparently,these little beauties right themselves ,so it's not worth being too fussy..lovely assortment too..:o)

Just beautiful.....somethings eating mine?

Pamg the squirrells ate a pot full of mine they seems to like the purple and white ones the best.

They look great Hywel...

Just beautiful Hywel. Love them. No problem when they die down either, off they disappear until next year to give us such beautiful colour in early spring.

Wow! what a beautiful crocus !

Thanks for all your comments. I'm pleased everyone likes my Crocuses :o)

I've learnt too from your blog Hywel, that you dont have to be too particular when planting which is a huge bonus.

I'm glad to be of help :)

I'm green with envy - squirrels have taken the tops off every single one this year!! I'll have to put inverted hanging baskets over them next year (or not grow them again).

Wow, they are lovely. The 2 colours really compliment each other.

My favourite view is the top photo of them side on.

Thank you both :)

Your Crocuses have done very well, Hywel! :-)) With small plants like Crocuses your "slapdash" method works because they are only under a couple of inches of soil & they are able to reach the surface before they run out of energy but I certainly wouldn't recommend it for bigger, more expensive bulbs - not even for Daffs that are relatively cheap!

Nevertheless I understand perfectly well why you did that with the Crocuses!

I have no "slapdash method". I always plant bulbs properly.
However, I did it quickly this time because it was coming to rain, and I would not have had time on later days.

Well it paid off anyway.

Yes it did ... I am quite surprised really.
Thank you :o)

Well there you go Hywel if you had spent an hour planting them up, they most probably wouldn't have looked as good as this......food for thought!!

I usually do them properly but it was coming to rain ... so in they went, any shape lol

They looked fabulous, Hywel!
