Gone calm here too - for now.. FG, I don't know that one but one I can recommend as it has a beautiful scent and tends to come back well for me is Ballerina. It's orange so may not fit in with some colour schemes but it looks great in combo with the pastel blue forget-me-nots which come up all over my garden every year.
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
Am tucked up inside and can't hear the weather -hurrah! I'm as prepared as I can be, moved half full (and quite heavy) brown bin to the front of the placcy greenhouse so it should be ok. The back is against the 6 foot fence and should be ok. So lets see what happens
I can't wait for spring too, nothing like seeing the bulbs come up. That does mean we would miss the helibores though
Fairy - ballade is pink -never grown it before but fell in love with it on a display at chelsea this year. Hope it lives up to expectations! I have considered ballerina too Bob - maybe next year. I think they have them in the "free" GW offer in the Oct mag?
Ballerina's one I thought of getting Bob. I will have quite a bit of dark purple and white in the bed they'd go in and wanted a few orange ones to have a bit of contrast and pzazz!
If it's hot pink I might consider it chick!
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I usually get RHS seed, Stacey. Not many seeds in a packet, but adequate for a few plants for the garden. They often have unusual varieties. This year the number of packets of seed has been cut from 20 to 12.
Tulips. I have taken advantage of various offers, and freebies with orders. The purple ones are going on the front. The orange and pinks and reds on the back, above blue forgetme nots.
If we get a few dry days, I am going to clear a bed of shasta daisies, reduce down the acanthus spinosus, and heave out a load of paeonia delavayi. That should make quite a space, I'm going to replant some aquilegias i potted up earlier on in the year, and i have some more giant yellow tree lilies to plant.

Glad all's well with chicklet!
Maybe you're all in the eye of the storm.....
Haven't done any tulips yet although I've taken note of a few I'd like and I've got some white ones not planted yet. What are 'Ballade' like chick?

Stacey I haven't bought from RHS so can't say.
