I'm a little OCD about this one Milky. It's in a pot so that it can come in when the weather is a bit iffy! Seems to work as I counted 14 flower buds on it tonight.

Thanks guys!
Hijuju; this is my second season with it, yet I still find myself endlessly fascinated by it. I gave Sue a G.Rothschildiana which was started off under cover outside. It's a fair way behind my Superba, but can be done, and as they are such fast growers I reckon on it blooming mid July on. Check out the bagged displays of bulb and tubers in your local garden centres from new year on.
