I was hoping to leave the UK on the 23rd, but it looks like it might have to be the 22nd, because of ferry timetables :(:( What a pity!

Give me some money to spend Angie and I will go, I cant resist trying to grow any bulb Or form I dont already have, easy or not. anything from crocus chrysanthus to C sharjonii, Tulipa chrysantha to T regellii, Iris germanica to Iris aitchesonii. I have 400 square feet of sand filled with pots and use space on my sisters allotment and my own for overflow, My spare room has a bench 6 feet by four filled with tender bulbs plus a complement of clivias on the floor, I just dare not go  :-[ ::) :-[

Isn't it a b..... when your horticultural tastes and ambitions are far overtaken by lack of space or money. We all have that problem I think. ;D

Peter I have just started growing bulbs I have some tender bulbs given to me by a generous forum member ;D I am just thinking to myself how long will it take me to get to your stage... I cant wait to get there ;D
Its a shame that we don't have the same opportunity as you have down South, we do have our Dunblane show which always gets us spending a little and of course there is eBay, but nothing would be as good as going to a bulb show.
I think you should go and then you can tell me about all the bulbs that I could have bought if I had been there :'(.

Seems like the bulb sale is just the place for you to go Peter !  ;D ;D

Also, you would find that prices are nothing like what we're used to in the professional trade ! 8)

I've made the hop twice already and it was more than worth it !
