What about a little bit of swapping? Last year I separated some tiny bulblets from my lillies & have been growing them on, I thought perhaps around autumn time we could have a swap around? I don't mean like the seed swop all sent to one person, just put out a list of what you have & perhaps want. It shouldn't even be expensive if the bulbs are small. I'm hoping to have (slugs permitting) lillies, ipheon, eucomis & if anyone is interested canna.

Sounds like a great idea mammaj.. I always buy far too many so it would be useful to swap some!

Well I'm keeping track on my bulbs with labels this year as i always forget to separate them. Last year I did them & they're doing brilliantly

Yes, good idea. I've got plenty of bulbs and corms - gladioli, crocosmia, dahlias as well as daffs, hyacinths & tulips. Let's make a note to do a
swap this in Autumn.
