My Spring Bulb collection is starting to come up

Spring Bulbs
Spring Bulbs are an easy way to get colour into the garden. I picked up a whole load of Crocus plants at the end of the planting season for only a few pounds. These are all starting to come through now. I would say that the new bulbs are about 4 weeks behind some of the more established bulbs. I hope to get some pictures when the rest of them have come up.

45 bulbs to start the season off.
16 * Crocus Vernus "Flower Record" 8-12cm tall
20 * Iris Reticulate "Harmony" 10-15cm tall
10 * Chrocus  Golden Bunch 8-10 cm tall
All of these flower Febuary to March but are running about 4 weeks late due to late planting
and to accompany them Tulips and Daffodil's 

8 * Tulip Late Mixed 40cm tall
8 * Daffodil Cheerfulness 40cm tall
Both of these flower April to May and although they were planted at the end of December I think that they will come up on time.

on top of these new purchases there are a lot of bulbs already in the ground from previous years which have already started to put on a good show
