Pat said...: Eryl: that''s rather like when I phoned my husband - miles away - to ask him what exposure I should use on the camera. I don't know enough about your climate but the best thing to do is ask if anyone in the area grows them and if you do plant them, they don't like the morning sun, in fact mine are in an almost totally shaded border.; 11:43 PM
Pat said...: Dorothy: thanks for your visit and I hope your battles are over. I tried twice to leave a comment on your blog but failed. Sorry about that.; 12:16 AM
Nea said...: You have a beautiful garden. I love the snow, but seeing these pictures makes me long for summer and England. Strawberry saw them too and had the same reaction. "When are we going to England again?"; 9:22 AM
Pat said...: Nea; I think the spring is probably the best time here. Shall you be over i;n the summer?; 10:41 AM
Nea said...: We hope to be over in the summer. School finishes here at the beginning of June, so we'll try and get over then.; 9:44 PM

Nil Zed said...: I have those little blue ones. are they not good? why'd you get rid of them? should I get rid of mine?

I like them. but I'm new to the UK so if this is something invasive & bad, I'll pull 'em up. sadly.; 11:45 PM
Pat said...: Nil Zed: they are grape hyacinths and they are fine in small doses but are invasive. I'm hanging on to some especially in the wild parts - but after blooming you are left with the grassy foliage.; 9:06 AM
