At last our Amaryllis Ice Queen has come into flower. We were very late planting them, but, just look at the results. There are two stems on this bulb, each with four double flowers. The flowers are icy white with lovely green throats and buds.

Lilies

The Lily season is approaching and we have the first of our Oriental lilies out in flower. These are from imported bulbs which is why they are flowering so early. Pictured in the deepest red of all Oriental Lilies – Montezuma. The colour is remarkable – really deep burgundy and of course the perfume goes without saying. !

Also we have Lake Carey. Really large flowers, deep pink with darker markings. A lady rang us the other day saying she had one of these out in flower and said she had never seen such a spectacular flower! Wow!

We are now working on having Oriental Lilies available all year around – more of that later. In the meantime look at our gorgeous Amaryllis bulbs – available now on our website.

We recently visited one of our growers and took some lovely daffodil photos. The fields of daffodils were just stunning. We are so lucky! The pink daffodil is called Mon Cherie – we just loved this one!

Spring is here

Despite all the wet and windy weather we have some delightful spring bulbs coming into flower. We just love this Daffodil Thalia – just like little angel wings.

Just come into flower this week were our Freesias – This is Freesia Rose Marie. Although the single fressias are not as fragrant as the doubles, the colours and flower sizes are really superb.
