Midweek bulb report from George
It has been a bit windy this afternoon and the bulbs have been getting a bit of a stir about in the breeze. I have brought a couple of my pots of hyacinth inside just to get them into flower for Haddington Flower Show on Sunday 19th. The heat and sunshine will soon bring them out I hope.
I suspect that after a couple of days they will be put back outside. I will want all the flowers out and all the spikes equal in height.
The Caley bulbs are still outside as they have plenty of growing to do yet before I push them on into flower. And I will post more about them on Friday.
Meantime the pots in the glasshouse continue to push up their flower buds and I will need to keep them well watered
The pots outside are starting to promise some flower colour and will need to be held back for the Show in 4 weeks time.
I will now need to keep them in the shade to delay their flowering slightly.
The buds of Avalanche growing in full sun are starting to open so I will need to move them to ‘the dark side’
More on Friday
