Iris Harmony

Iris harmony

So excited just been out into the garden and my first Iris Harmony has just flowered. Didn't it look beautiful. Just 2 days ago it was just a few leaves sticking out of the ground. 

I should have made more notes about where they were planted. I planted 10 in the back garden which means there should be 10 in the front garden planted by the chrocus but nothing has come up on that side of the house.

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
