I've been trying to buy madonna lily bulbs for over two years. Every garden centre says something different. If I ask in spring they say they come in in the autumn. If I ask in autumn they say they'll have them next spring. - When should I expect to be able to buy them, and when should they be planted?
Can I dig up wild orchids in my garden and move them?
I plan to work on my daughter's garden this coming weekend, and would like your advice on how to get rid of the moss that has taken over the flower beds. Also what can we do to improve the soil. There is a box hedge surrounding the bed which is doing ok but the plants in it are not doing well. We would be happy to clear it and start again.

Have recently just fallen in love with gardening after never having done it before. I put in a large rockery (prob about 10M) and I have been busy planting away with summer flowers.

My Hyacinth Carnegie and Muscari blue grape variety are now falling back but I've noticed small tomatoe type growth on the stems. Are these new seeds/bulbs ? and what should I do with them. Also how far back should I cut out of season stems such as above and tulips for.
I can't find a supplier of Nymphaea candida (for our small pond) in Ireland: any suggestions please?
Can I plant daffodils under a mature magnolia? They are not doing well in pots, but I am afraid I might damage roots of magnolia Stellata as they appear close to surface. Thank you
