My intensive care nursery

Looks like 2 names to me, but I'm not sure Digger! I know Oxalis, & I know Anemone, but dunno if theres a mixy-uppy one!! :~}}

Sorry can`t help with plant names Ian but your idea with the glass over the newly planted bulbs is a great one hope all your little "patients" bloom really well :~))))

Morning all,
Hatter I think your right there may well be two types in the one pot. :~))
Mobee, I didn't know if it would work, but as I say it was kind of an experiment to see if they will grow. I have kept over half of the bulbs/corms we had and will plant them in the spring but these can go into the greenhouse over winter! :~))

Hatter, I've just realized what you meant by mixy uppy one. It says Ixia it's the name of an Anemone! ! !

Ian, you would do slightly better by lifting the plastic cover a little above the planter to allow plenty of air to circulate. The bulbs you have do not mind the cold and your idea of giving them a little protection from the severe weather is a good one.

I bought some late Gladioli bulbs which flower late summer.... ithought i had put them in to late , but they now have flowers coming...... your bulbs should all be ok.... and will come up in the Spring...........

well done ian and looks like 2 to me to, so your now a MG, (medical gardener) lol

Thanks for the info Bulbaholic, I will do. and put it down again at night?
Actually Holly one lot has already come up?@?.
San I've been told there are three, Oxalis, Anemone and Ixia so who knows? Answer) well the people who were kind enough to tell me. LOL

lol more the merrier anyway ian :o)

To true San, to true. ;~))

No need to mess with it too much, Ian. Lay a couple of wooden battens across the top of the box and lay the cover on that. Maybe a length of cord with a brick on each end stretched over the cover to stop it blowing away? Keep them just damp until they start to grow.

Thanks, Bulba. They are all starting to grow. I put them like this to try to 'force' them on to see if they would still grow and these and some Californion poppy's have come up so far. so fingers crossed they will all produce next spring! ! !

Yes Ian you have 3 types of bulbs there. It's like they're in a little cold frame and it's a good idea to allow ventilation. :o)

Thanks Hywel, can you see why everyone loves this site so much? Because there are so many kind members willing to offer help and advice, I wouldn't have thought of that, but I'm pleased I posted this blog now! :~))

Yes it's good to give advice and to and receive it aswell :o) I need plenty .. lol

I was thinking the same (that I need more than I give) Lol

So, how are they coming along, Ian? I'm a bit behind with everyone's news at present!

I wondered where you had gone? I'll get a photo of them when I get a new camera, I dropped mine and then ran it over with my scooter and then dropped my phone in a glass of orange juice! ! ! :~((

What are you, some kind of accident prone freak??? Nobody is that accident prone! I hope you haven't suffered any more damage to your person.

I hold my hands up to that one. I've had 5 or 6 phones so far this year and now Carol has bought me one of these things that go around my neck to hang my new phone on. I've already nearly strangled myself in the shed with it! Lol
