Orostachys

I have written about it two months ago and I promised pictures when in flower.
Our balcony is not a good place for it because the plant gets sun only from one part and consequently the flowers open only on that part. It looks rather strange.





I bought some bulbs again:
  • Iris 'Katharine Hodgkin' – 5 
  • Tulipa turkestanica – 7 
  • Narcissus bulbocodium – 4
  • Sternbergia lutea – well, this was a present, many corms, the flowers just over.
Everything was planted in pots, the rest comes in spring.

Two Autumn Flowering Crocuses and Other Corms and Bulbs

Yesterday was plant swapping day at our Vera Csapody Hardy Plant Society and I purchased again some bulbs and corms. Not too much, just to have a little display in spring and also in autumn, because last winter I lost almost all our bulbs.


I planted them all and I will write about these in spring when in flower.

I also bought two autumn flowering Crocuses:
