I'm so glad your 'surprise' parcel came! That was quick - good. ;-) Hope you like them! Are the instructions OK??

You can buy Crocosmia 'Lucifer' as corms in a pack, in the early autumn, Ian. They are sooooo much cheaper grown from corms, although you might have to wait an extra year for flowers. Pots from Garden Centres are really expensive, and I reckon they only put a few corms in each pot! Cheeky, really, it's done for people who aren't aware that they can grow their own so easily, and of course to make money.

I don't know what I would do without you.

The instructions are brill thank you and they are safely potted up in the front garden, recovering from there long jurney.

I wrote a blog about it :~)))))))))))))

That's good to hear, Toto - they need to multiply to give a good splash of colour.
