oh Jennie! next time I'm just going to buy the plants - they always have some good ones at the school summer fete.Comment

Good idea FV! We have the horticultural sale of plants tomorrow, so I may be able to sneak some back and pass them off as my own

did you get any Jennie?Comment

No - obviously everyone else having same trouble! Didnt see one crocosmia plant for sale.
Won the garden ornament in the raffle. Haven't got it yet - hope it is not a gnome!
Oh no someone is going to ask me now what is wrong with gnomes ....~

I won a plant in the raffle at school on Friday - tis a standard solanum, apparently its a patio plant. but I put a tiny one into the back bed 2 yrs ago, and its now a 10' giant - just wondering if I can try it with this one.
if it is a gnome Jennie, just pretend you are in a bad taste competition with a family member - my OH and brother have done this for a couple of years now, and there are some memorable presents. one is a gnome with a solar powered 'welcome' sign (now lives outside kids' wendy house). we retaliated with a mannekin pis corkscrew from Brussels. oh, the laughs we have!!!Comment

Its a snail! Unfortunately rather tiny for our garden, but it is my first real garden ornament
I like the idea of a mannekin pis corkscrew

I've got shoots coming out of my crocosmia pots.
No sign of the dahlias or crysanthemums yet though 
Warmer weather was obviously needed.~

Still nothing happening with my crocosmia - I think the cat has been digging that patch of soil up and leaving her jobbies there, so I think I can kiss goodbye to any flowers.

crocosmia still noticeable by its absence. however, acidanthera that I planted at the same time seems to be coming up.Comment

FVV
I have three established varieties of crocosmia in my garden and all are up and just about ready to start flowering - however, I took some to my Sunday job garden last year and this year they have only produced leaf blades about three inches long - they are definitely alive but seem very very slow to kick in this season - dunno why - but you're not alone with your lack of crocosmiaRat

yeah same here Rat, my old established ones are fine, and well into flower now. maybe the new bulbs will show themselves sometimes - but I might chuck some in pots next spring, as insurance!Comment
