That is a very showy flower. I can see the attraction & there seem to be lots of colours. You never know i might have one myself next year. Is it this time of the year they flower?
@happypat I know you saw a very expensive one Pat but they usually range from £9.99 - £12.99. I have one which cost £2.00 and it’s doing as well as all the others. Judith is right, they’re in the shops from about October onwards.
@susiemc Interesting. Can you grow them in your garden or just in pots?
@happypat Just saw the reply from Sue to your comment. They grow like wildfire here in our garden and each year we split them and end up throwing some out as they would overtake the garden. I could make a fortune couldn't I if I sold them in the UK. ha ha.
That's just stunning, Sue, with the light coming through the variegated red and white petals! Fav (And thank you for explaining the appearance of catkins, snowdrops, etc. and your weather patterns. I can only imagine how uplifting it must be to catch a sight of the early flowers. Thanks for posting shots of them, too. You are spreading the good feeling across the Atlantic :-)
