The 'belly button' on Frit. meliagris is where this years growing stem was, plant the bulbs so that this points upwards. I'd be planting them between 4 and 5 inches down in the soil. If you plant them too deep they will move themselves up, conversely if they are planted too shallowly they will move them selves down.

The bulbs tend to have a base then folded leaves. the usual rule of thumb is 2-3 times the height of the bulb in depth. so I planted mine 2-3 inches deep.

sort of snap mg :o) I haven't dug them up to see how deep they are but they do have contractile roots so they will find their own depth.

I think all bulbs do SBG :)

different depths....I think I did 3 wrong way up....but I guess they won't turn the right way.....I did 7 right way up cheers

They'll grow regardless Bramhallbill rest assured.

If in doubt, I plant them on their side. The roots will always grow down and the shoots will grow up from there.

yes mg all bulbs have contractile roots and don't worry if a few are upside down they will right them selves, clever things bulbs :o)
