Ann the lillies just havr thr name of sy scraper, they grow to about 8 ft, mum had noticed them on bid tv, the bulbs are the size of daffodil bulbs they also spread, so ive stuck some separetly in pound shop plant pots, our nearest pound shop is shrewsbury.

i have a few left if you would like a couple. :-D

Thanks all the same for the kind offer Puss but no thanks, I am not too keen on lillies we have never been very lucky with them here. You enjoy them though. Maybe they won't go to 8 feet if theya re not in very big pots.

In a rush today I bought 4 boxes of plug plants from Aldi thinking or not thinking that it would be enough plants for OH 3 family graves and my families cremation plot that's in a church yard, I should have slowed down as I haven't got anywhere near enough.
:-( :-( :-(

RamblingRose freesias how beautiful.
:-) :-) :-)

no problem ann. yes thats what i thought about the pots, i need to read up on them.

hi lesley its always the way, i was shopping with oh, i promised id finshed buying plants as trying to create a fruit orchard, i said they fell in the trolly sort of xx

HaHa Puss falling plants

:-D :-D :-D

i know he lets me get away with anything. xx

well im off to bed xxx

i am so excited
i found a pink hyacynth starting bloom and two tulips
starting to open they are red and yellow in my front graden today

Love hyacinths, tulips are early Joy aren't they? Rose, I love freesias but never have any luck with them so I'll be interested to see if you can get them to grow, love the scent of them.

we dont normally get tulips open till begining of may
freesias i grow inmy hanging baskets

Never tried them in hanging baskets Joy so that is a thought.

I agree with everything AnninGlos has said about freesias I too have never had any luck with them.
I've potted on all my plug plants and covered them with fleece as we've have been forecast night temperature of 2/3 degrees, all I can do know is keep my fingers crossed.
Our snowdrops and crocus are just coming to an end, wish they lasted longer.

I have just potted on 10 fuchsias which ae now in the conservatory and five hanging baskets with Surfina Petunias. Well a couple have Tumbelina Petunias and one of them is Julia!! :-D

Ha,ha, Ann, I get everywhere, don't I. There is also a Clematis with the word in it's title, but can't remember it's full name.
I have a feeling, and it is just a feeling, that Joy meant she grows Fuchsias in her hanging baskets. I can't imagine Freesias in them, or they would look too tall.
I have bought my Geraniums down from the bedrooms to the greenhouse, and will start watering them, to bring them alive. I'm clearing the greenhouse work benches, so that I can put all my seed trays out. This is the start of things for the next few months. Hurrah.

OH is sorting his greenhouse at the moment. Yes, I wondered about freesias in hanging baskets too. fuchsias we always have in baskets.

I like flowers/plants that include names of people I know and I buy any fuchsia with Sarah in it's name, sort of in memory of my youngest sister Sarah who died when she was only 31.

its deffo freesias
the freesias go at the back of the baskets and uses my frnce for support
thy smell lovely even better when its damp after a rainey day

Fuchsias i use in the centre of the baskets

Think I have got it now Joy. What do you put in the baskets in front of the Freesias.

Julia in Derbyshire

i add a few of eveything

even tiny tomatoe plants in some

What a brillo idea Joy. I grow the tiny tomatoes in baskets. I'll have to try a few freesias at the back, now. Thanks for the idea.
