I hands and kneed through this over the last 4 days, weeding it. Pity about the daffs they are supposed to be white. but if you look closely you can see they are pale yellow with an orange cup!

Just looking again at your picture, there are so many bulbs, do you buy them in bulk and do you get a good price. I want to plant lots this autumn so that I can have cut flowers for the house next spring.

Lovely pic Palustris.  Like yer daffs :)  I was in the New Forest over Easter whilst visiting my son there for the first time.  He took us to Deer Leap which I enjoyed very much.  The weather was brilliant.  When I got home the place was really wet and dismal just like November.   :(

This is probably about the best picture I am going to get of the New Forest. The Queen of the Night are a little later than we had hoped and Attila( the dark pink )is earlier. And as I said the daffs are the wrong ones, not only colour wise but flowering time too.

Eric it looks just like a beautiful painting, its so lovely.

I wondered? When all the spring bulbs die back what do you with the area then for the summer?

Ah, well, good question. Hopefully the shrubs which are hidden will grow a bit and there are also hundreds of Galtonia candida and viridis and Agapanthus esculenta. Any gaps may well be filled with ??????
AND I need some space for the Tree Peonies we are hoping to have enough money to plant his year.
