SHEDS AND OUTHOUSES before BARNES. That is early Richard!

Hagen, it is the first year for me I have Sheds and Outhouses. Hopefully it will be that early next year also.
Barnes just has it nose above the ground. Fly Fishing, Elwesii ex Watson Leeds and Santa Claus are showing themselves
too. Last year Elw. Howard Wheeler was flowering the second week of November, no sign of it yet, this year.

In addition to numerous reginae-olgae and peshmenii in pots, I have ' Peter Gatehouse' in flower.  Surely this is early.

Although I would not normally suggest leaving twinscaling as late as the label indicates, or leave potting up until today as you can see they have come to no harm. It just calls for great care in handling so that the roots are not damaged.

Interesting to see Melvyn, including the top of the bulb which has sprouted nicely too.
'Fotini' is such a beauty.
