Just a thought since registering for the free bulbs.......  got my magazine today. On the front cover it reads 100 free Butterfly Gladioli.... with all orders over £40. Wonder if this is the same or a different offer to the original 100 free bulbs. Coincidence maybe...  Will see what happens ::) ::)

That offer is for Dwarf Butterfly Gladioli, the free offer was for something different, although I can't remember what now - just remember I'd never heard of them!!  Just thought oooooo pretties!

Hi there, got my bulb book out and here goes
Anemone blande blue, plant Autumn, flowers spring, need full sun & dry conditions especially when dormant.  Make excellant pot plants perfect for dry woodlands.  Plant 2in deep   4in apart.

Ixias   plant in spring for late summer flowers or Autumn for spring/early summer flowers. 5cm deep in pots , 6 to 8 per pot or 7.5cm deep in garden 9cm apart.   Need good light indoors or sunny sheltered position outside.  Can be grown outside where temp seldom falls below freezing, will need mulching with bark or leaf mold. plants can be propagated by removing offests in autumn, they usually take 2 years to flower.

Ranunculus - Persian buttercup.   Plant spring for early-mid summer flowers.  Can be planted autumn for spring flowers but in mild climates. 1in deep 6in apart.  Full sun sheltered position.  Not completely hardy.

Sparaxis - Harlequin flower. Best results plant mid Spring for late summer flowers.  For conservatories/greenhouses can be planted Aumn for Spring/early summer flowers.  DO NOT LIKE FROST.  2in deep 5in apart.

Didn't write all the information out but hope this helps.
