    Just ask the nursery for sicilian Garlic, you two as the name is changing.  Summer has indeed arrived when you salivate every time you pass your first peach, like I am doing.  It is a Peregrine peach so gets red all over.

    Marion someone was looking for help with a diseased bulb- growths on it- sorry I've totally forgotten what kind! image

    I told her you might be able to help as I suggested a Botanic Garden may have a bulb 'expert'. Did she get hold of you? Told her you'd started a couple of threads here to point her in the right direction but she may have found someone to help her. 

    That peach looks so ....peachy !! Yummy image

    Mgt Merrill rose- beautiful!

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Fairygirl, she would do well to try the RHS site.  Tulip bulbs are susceptile to fungus and any left too wet in cold weather.

    Only the middle of June and i took my camera in fear and trepidation up the garden after the horrific winds and heavy rain we had in Bristol yeasterday.  I was lucky only one pale blue bearded iris had been blown down and a few dead branches.
