HEY!!! I like that moving avatar!! I want one too. How do you do that? Can you just upload a short video clip of you , say grinning and winking, or raising a glass to fellow forumers, as your forum photo instead of a still pic? Maggi, tell me how Michael's done that, pleeeeeese!!! It's FUN!!!
Autumn crocus from the med: Cc goulimyi, laevigatus, hadriaticus, longiflorus, tournefortii, boryi .... I could go on ...
MikeNice to see more people from Portugal here. I am not Portuguese but I have been here in Portugal on and off and my kids are half Portuguese.If You are OK with growing hybrids there is actually a great deal in the supermarkets right now.Lidl had nice tulips and narcissus but I think that the Galanthus are most likely small narcissus.Continente have Fritalia imperialis both rubra and the orange one. They also have tulips iris and crucus.I have even bought bulbs at Pingo Doce but did not see any now.
I'm working on Geranium madeirense and its alba form...You should find lots of wonderful bulbs to fit your climate. Many will be available through the mails and internet. I understand that trade WITHIN the EU is relatively easy to accomplish.
I've been to Portugal and the Azores before, but never Madeira. Perhaps you can tell us a little about your native flora and the conditions you face trying to garden on the island. There appear to be many wonderful public/private gardens there that deserve to be better known...
Almost forgot...one that you should try is tiny little Narcissus wilkommii, a native of the Algarve. I'm trying it again for the second time this fall.
And in the meantime - have some Madeira, m'dear.
