I am delighted to have received my book from Silverhill Seeds this morning, 'Grow Bulbs' by Graham Duncan, a chunky 2cms thick paperback which will provide bedtime reading until the proper snowdrop season begins!  The trouble is there are so many lovely things to grow...

Every time I open another page there is something I would love to have. It's really is a great book.

I am looking forward to the snowdrop season as well, love these little white treasures but what I really enjoy is reading all the posts from the members. I think it is so much fun  ;D

Among your recent pics Bill, the one I like most is the Babiana pygmaea hybrid. The blue/cream combo is delightful. No, I'm not hinting. I think I have to accept that South African bulbs are not for me here, being without any glass cover. A few do well in the garden but most need some sort of summer ripening or winter protection which I just can't do. But I sure enjoy everyone's here. :D
