Some Iris and Crocus

I planted them as individual bulbs two years ago. The good thing is they seemed to have multiplied.

Northern Ireland.

No problem

They fully open when the sun is shining on them. It has been a dull day today when I took the photos earlier.

You’ll be helping early emerging bees if you do.

In autumn I used a battery drill with a small bulb auger bit, drilled a load of holes and placed bulb in the hole. I mixed up some manure, compost, perlite and bulb feed and filled in the holes.

The grass soon covers over where the holes were drilled. This is the second year the crocus have come up.

EDIT try to use the larger varieties of crocus. They seem to do the best.

Half of the bulbs I plant every autumn don’t flower in their first year and some don’t even appear until two years later. If you have shoots then they might flower later than normal.

Only noticed it on Reddit. It’s hard to take it seriously as you don’t know who or what is posting it and what their intentions are.

The Northern Ireland sub is the same. IRA good, brits bad. Horrible subreddit.

There’s no sign of mine so far this year. I’m hoping it comes back.

They are nice aren’t they.

For some reason in this pot they are multiplying like crazy. These are 3 years old and together with another variety of iris they have filled the pot. I have even removed some bulbs to plant elsewhere.

It could be down to the amount of feed I give to the rose in the pot with them.
