Back to the plunge

Ordered Shoots

At the tail end of last year a number of members got together to plant bulbs in a plunge out at the nursery of the Botanics in Edinburgh.  Last Saturday many of the same trooped back out to excavate these from the bed where they had been over-wintering.

The result was a rather impressive haul of blulbs of various types, all decidedly yellow from lack of light but very healthy looking.

After the bulbs had all been sorted, experienced flower show judge Tom gave some hints tims and general guidance on the presentation of bulb flowers at a show.
