Against all odds
I only got a few minutes out in the garden yesterday. Every year after all my daffs and tulips have 'gone over' I move the pots in under cover of the shrubs down at the Wilderness area, where they stay until this time of year. A couple of weeks ago I brought most of them back out and am happy to say they are flourishing. However, yesterday I spotted some that I forgotten about completely.
This pot was underneath another pot, which was under another pot. How in God's name do they manage to survive in the most harrowing conditions. These were obviously a mixture of bulbs that I just emptied into this pot so I could use the other one. They look to me like a mixture of daffs and tulips so I will pot these up properly today and make them look like they are wanted! And note that the pot inside has broken with the bad weather even though it was placed inside another pot.
