You can buy those iris reticulata that are sprouted, if they are selling them cheaply. Plant them now in a tub or somewhere that gets light, tucked away behind the shed or somewhere and wait till next Spring, when you will have an amazing show and at a reduced cost - what's not to like?
Trouble is - they're not selling them cheaply Bookertoo! I was tempted to tell someone to see if they'd reduce them though
Tomsk - I do that with lots of planting. It's useful when you have a nice big 'statement' container. Get a few plastic pots - all the same size - that will fit inside it (prop them up on bricks or something if they're a bit shorter) then plant them up with your own choices - eg bulbs for spring, annuals/ lilies or something for summer and a nice evergreen for over winter. Just swap the pots round for each season.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I have heard from Lidl - the matter has been passed to the 'relevant department' and I will be contacted again once they have received their response etc etc etc
