Glad you liked it.

To answer your questions;

I have no idea how many buls and corms are in there.

At a guess 500 crocus, 200 Daffs, 100 Snowdrops, 50 Tulips.

Designed this way to give me some colour from Jan to May then I plant out the annuals.

Yes Tim the grandkids have been know to run over them, but not so often, I am pleased to say.

Yes Aquilegia use it on your desk top if you want;

Thought I would add another few to keep you going ;
