Spring bulbs

Bulbs are in the shops already! I have bought some Iris Reticulata today plus some beautiful dark blue autumn flowering crocus.

Looking forward to seeing some of the specie daffs/tulips coming in. I have bulbs coming from Holland following a visit to Keukenhof earlier this year.

Seems bizarre I am planning for next spring already but feel quite excited at the prospect of planning my spring show of flowers.

    Do you life your bulbs after flowering or wait to die down and cut back?

    Hi Suisi, I do both. Bulbs planted in borders are left and foliage tidied up once died back. Bulbs in planters/pots left to partially die back then lifted and then planted into odd areas in garden where there are no bulbs to continue dying back. I generally buy new bulbs each autumn for the pots/planters.
