Title: Bulbs 'from' the EU!!
Post by: Tim Harberd on February 09, 2021, 11:08:45 AM

Early in December I sent some Pleione bulbs to France, to avoid post Brexit restrictions…. They reappeared  yesterday!

The poor things left here on December 6th ( returning Feb 8th ), and it looks like they were cooked in a nice warm sorting office between times!!

I assume, because of the French label, that they did actually get out of the UK prior to Brexit… AND therefore, presumably got back into the UK after Brexit!!!!

Fascinating. Were they wrong type of Pleione bulbs or had they come from dirty British fishing waters or did they just not speak Francais. Who knows these days. ??? ::)
