We had many of our potted stocks damaged in the last severe winter, and I want to be sure they are OK before offering them. As I repot, I will pot singly any spares that I have, and will hopefully be able to send out a supplementary list in the late winter, to also include a good range of hepaticas. If you are interested in receiving a copy, please send a SAE – customers receiving email lists will be sent one automatically unless they tell me they do not want one. PLEASE NOTE - most items are in very limited numbers, so please apply early, LAST DATE FOR ORDERS END OF JULY, as I will replant any unsold bulbs then. Orders will be dealt with in the order in which they arrive. Dispatch will begin in July, or as soon as bulbs can be harvested. Celandines and anemones will be damp-packed for posting. Please note that occasionally a rogue seedling finds its way into the anemones and celandines, so if you end up with the wrong flower, please let me know and I will replace it. Postage and Packaging - A single bulb - £1-50 Other orders containing only dry bulbs - £3-00. Orders containing damp-packed items – £3.75. Parcels will be sent by first class post, recorded delivery, so will need to be signed for. PAYMENT PLEASE DO NOT SEND CASH.

Acis nicaeensis
|
Formerly Leucojum nicaeense, a pretty little April-flowering bulb, which will happily seed into a sand plunge, if you let it. Grows to 8-10cm, with 2 or 3 little white lampshades per stem. Survived -7˚C under glass last winter. Dry summer rest. |
£3.00 5 available |
|
|
Allium callimischon ssp haemostictum
|
Autumn flowering onion to 10cm, small white flowers with red spots. Do not remove 'dead' upright stems during dormancy - these will carry the flowers later. I will carefully pack these so as not to disturb the flowering stems, so unpack with care! |

|
Anemone nemorosa 'Flore Pleno'
|
The naming of this and the following variety are not 100% certain. These are the names I received them under, but the descriptions are of the plants offered. Similar to 'Vestal', below, but later flowering and having no stamens so a cleaner, neater looking flower - our favourite. |

|
Anemone ranunculoides 'Laciniata' |
I'm not sure about this name, although original stock came from a very reputable source. It is a very compact form of A. ranunculoides in which the foliage is dark at emergence and flowering time, which sets off the golden flowers beautifully.
|
£3.00 |

Anemone ranunculoides 'Pleniflora' |
Semi-double golden yellow flowers, vigorous. |
£2.50 |
|

£1.00 30 available |

| Narcissus 'Joy Bishop' | A creamy yellow hoop petticoat with very clean, solid flowers neatly scalloped rather than frilled around the mouth of the corona. Name confirmed by Joy herself. | £1.50 |
 |
|
Narcissus K/34/94 |
Something special – this daffodil was bred by Keira nursery in Australia, and imported at great expense for my breeding programme because it was bred from Keith’s ‘dry programme’. In a nutshell, it is a same-size cyclamineus lookalike that likes normal bulb conditions, ie a dry summer rest. |
£15.00 4 available |

I am offering unselected seedlings, so you have a chance of getting the very best. |
SOLD OUT
|
 |
| Narcissus ‘Second Fiddle’ |
This is another daffodil bred by Keira nursery in Australia, also bred from Keith’s ‘dry programme’ so that it likes normal bulb conditions, ie a dry summer rest. It is a lovely very pale lemon cyclamineus type flower, and Keith rates it as a good parent. |
SOLD OUT |

  |

| Narcissus watieri x marvieri |
This cross
has given me a lot of fun – the seedlings have been varied
in shape and colour, but all seem vigorous, and all grow to
about 10-12cm with single flowers 1.5-2cm wide. I have
selected my favourites, though, so I am offering the rest as
plants for you to play with. They should be fine outside in
a trough or raised bed and all seem to set plenty of seeds. Also offered: Packets of seed taken from the mixed batch, 30 seeds per packet. |
SOLD OUT OF BULBS Seeds £1.00 per pkt |

£3.00 3 available |

| Tecophilea cyanocrocus | The stunning "Chilean Crocus" – not a crocus at all, but bears 5cm wide deep gentian-blue flowers over short neat leaves in spring. Lives happily in my just-damp plunge over the summer when dormant. |
