Very nice Luc, it's one I struggle with.

Me too. My stock is slowly dwindling.

Some of the dafflets are having a trip down to Birmingham tomorrow for the Birmingham AGS group conference.

Thanks Anne.

They do tend to keep their noses down.

We had a very warm spell here in the high 50's. Had to pen all the greenhouse glass to keep it from cooking.

I know it's not winter here, but I tipped out my pot of Narcissus malacitanus sown March 2012. Some germinated immediately, some the next season. Here's hoping I can get them to flower.

If I could get you into my dafflet house just now, Tony, I'd have a good try at converting you!
