Bob got bulb planter from here yeoman one with yellow handle, just the right height for me, also have hand held planter gets used a lot - I have use for other things as well handy them
Look what turned up for me today - had totally forgot they were coming!
As is often the way, I am finding, there are no onward potting instructions So. . . . do I pot on or plant out? They are helibores in 9cm pots. Don't want to mess these little beauties up!
So, am back from Guides. Luckily I kept the magazine I ordered them from On your advice though I think they might have told a little fib in their advert . . . apparently they are 'garden ready potted plants'!
I have 3 doubles, Peppermint Ice, Onyx Odyssey and Sparkling Diamond (dark pink, nearly black and white) and 3 'free' singles, Golden Sunrise, Painted and Cherry Blossom (greeny pink, purple and white, and darkish pink).
I will hunt through my pot collection for 1 litre pots - must have some!

I'm not keen on the black one, but then I don't like black flowers in general, but i love the others.
Thanks Fidget. Looks like I'm going to have to be patient for them
Still the pleasure is in the waiting
Was just going to chuck it in my shady border - am not so good at the colour blending!
