I've planted tulip bulbs as late as January and they've still flowered at the usual time. Seeing your photo of the potting shed reminds me that in my allotment shed I have a paper bag of Purple Prince tulip bulbs dug up at Polesden this summer. I need to get those in the ground before the mice find them.

They say they have probably sold out now. Last year I ordered too late and had to buy one of those silly pot and bulb gift sets. The pot arrived in pieces. How can I blog without a bowl of Paperwhites in due season?
