    Hi @Hostafan1,

    If you're after discounted bulbs .... I bought some bulbs from Peter Nyssen a few weeks ago and have just had an email with a 20% discount code BESTBULBS19 

    This is the range the code applies to ..

    I might just be tempted ...

    I'm far too tempted @Bee witched. I got that email too.
    I'm feeling in Jim Carrey mode again....'somebody stop me.....' ;)

    Hi @Fairygirl,

    Probably I'll also succumb ...  ...  they know me too well.
    Always room for a few more muscari latifolium.

    Supermarket bargains today. I got this cactus just because I liked the pot and they came together for £5. The cactus alone would be 7 or 8 quid normally, the pot is 20cm tall for reference. I also picked up a perfectly healthy rosemary plant for 30p because it was out of date.



    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
  • Wickes reduced price of bulbs, near the tills, from £3 to £1.50. I bought some allium Christophii and Purple sensation.

    I managed to resist the P. Nyssen temptation, and B&Q as I found some screws to finish my project, so I've come out quits.

    Nice pot @wild edges

    I'm waiting for an advert or similar @Hexagon ;)
    It has all the hallmarks. 
    I just noticed your query re the lilies - yes, you can pull them apart and re plant separately, but it might be better to leave until early spring.

    I disagree, but it would have been rude of me to say how ugly I think it is! Positive comments are welcome and negative ones are not.
    I'm not offended. I picked up a second one even cheaper so I have Mr & Mrs pot now. :) I think most people must agree they're ugly as they don't seem to be selling well. I picked up a limp little half-dead tradescantia while I was browsing the bargain shelf too and nursed it back to life. It's even started to flower now.
