my new babies

wow thats quick sea.... are you going to plant them out now

cant yet as the place i plan to put them is covered in brambles and other assorted weeds.

i know the feeling sea... lol, they are pretty are they same family as crocus, or am i being a bit thick here :o))

not being thick at all and the honest answer is: i dont know i havent checked yet. I will when i can get the time to look it up in my big rhs book.
they are not crocus family i know that.

thanx sea, just looked a bit like a crocus flower in the pic, but i can see one has leaves like a daff shape, i havent seen these before,

No, I don't think they are, Sbg/Sandra. I seem to remember looking them up when I got my first one. I bought three more at Beth Chatto's on Thursday! :-))

thanx barbara, they are pretty arent they :o)

did you enjoy beths chatto's? I hope you had a lovely time.

they belong to the amaryllidaceae so a member of that family. I can sort of see it when you look closely at the flower structure.

glad thats sorted out, well done sea... will look that up , by the first part of the name amarylli im imagimging that flower, :o))

yes just scale it down and less 'open' and it is amaryllis.

thats what i looked up and "wallah" lol related :o)

So not far to off Sanbaz when you said the leaves looked like Daffs, they are of course also in the Amaryllis family.

Sadly, Sbg - not a fun-time at Beth Chatto's at all! It was on the way to visiting my son, and I was allowed just a few minutes to gather up the plants on my list - so no garden-visiting, or Nursery-browsing. :-((
