Bought some loose crown imperial bulbs in autumn but don't know when to plant them. Am I too late now?

    plant them, they won't keep til next year. 

    I think you're supposed to plant those on their sides so that dent in them doesn't fill up with water.

    I can't remember if I did that or not but they keep coming back every year. image

    Yes, on their sides, on a layer of grit, deeply planted.

    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team
