In the UK how much would you expect to pay for a wedding bouquet?

Nothing fancy - say freesias, hyacinths, tulips and some greenery. Tied up with natural raffia, not ribbon.





Have been quoted £65 and I admit I was astonished. Am I just being naive?

In the UK how much would you expect to pay for a wedding bouquet?
I did not recieve any quotes under £60. Mine is 80 but is all roses and takes a little work to make as it has pearl pins between each of the flowers. This is being made by a friend so trust her to have given me a good price.
Reply:I was shocked when the florist quoted me £60.00! It will grieve me when I toss the bouquet, I will ask the single woman if I could have it back lol!
Reply:I would say that is pretty reasonable, I live in London UK and had a pomander of roses, say about 20 roses and this was mixed in with blue fluffy feathers and it cost me £150!!!! Believe it or not that was the cheapest quote I got. It really depends from town to town and florist to florist
Reply:yes and more why not get a good book from the library and give a go loads of brides do it [yes they do]
Reply:in the us its like 40,000
Reply:Shop around, independent florists will be helpful, especially if you have a clear idea as to what you want. Why not ask a creative friend to make one for you?


Can someone help me find a book? Can't remember author or title!!?

I remember all the characters - there was an orphan girl called Lily or maybe Lilly/Lillie!, adopted by a bloke called Black Jack, who was a rich widower with two children, Jon and Margaret. Lily grows up with this family, in love with Jon and they marry. Jon goes off to war - later Lily marries a bloke called Brock. I think she has a child who drowns or maybe he saves someone from drowning. Sorry the details are sketchy!! She has a mother called Rose who abandoned her, and she hates the smell of freesias. It is set in Leeds, UK. Does anyone know this book?

PEACE..!!!
Reply:I, too, thought the plot of the book sounded like a good read. Thank goodness someone found the title. Here's the book jacket blurb:





"Promises


(1982)


A novel by


Catherine Gaskin





A magnicicent saga of a woman's promise and the passion, tragedy and triumph that it brings. Black Jack Pollock inherited a fortune and married a beautiful, wild aristocrat. Shrewd, tough and unscrupulous, he was the last man to take pity on the bedraggled waif who was crushed beneath his carriage wheels. He took her home to Pelham Langley, his great house on the Yorkshire Moors. He named her Lally Leeds and she became the cornerstone of his motherless family. She was companion and friend to the lovely, wilful Margaret; she was the kindest support to the enchanting but handicapped Alice; and she was the greatest admirer of the beloved Jon - Black Jack's son and heir. Throughout the sunlit summer of 1914 the gilded Pollock family were the toast of the town. Only Lally felt unattractive and without a name - the ugly duckling. World War 1 took the young men off to the trenches. It took Lally too, crushed but unsurprised by Jon's marriage, off to France as a VAD. It was she who first met Brock Weymouth, the dark stranger who was to play such a vital role in the Pollock family's affairs - a man with as little right to his name as Lally had to hers. PROMISES sweeps from the agonies of World War 1 to the Jazz Age that followed, from the parties and rich life of Long Island society to the severity and bitterness of the Depression, through the tragedy and disaster to the ultimate and unexpected triumph and the new destiny of Pelham Langley."





While having fun trying to locate the title of your book, I got caught up reading an 1860s book, Beulah, by August Evans.





Happy reading!
Reply:i have no idea wut you are like talking bout!!! but if you do find it out like tell me, it sounds good!!!
Reply:Is it the UK version of "Pride and Prejudice"? Maybe if you visit the library and ask the librarian about that novel, she might pick several titles for you.

Where do you cut flowers not when where?

I have gladiola's, freesias, Roses, Acidanthera , and a few more. I just started the flower garden thing so I need a little help with a few things Like I said where do I cut them, when there ready?Also does mothballs really help with armollias, I think I spelt that right? do any of the flowers listed above Multiply. I see my gladiols do , but does the rest?

Where do you cut flowers not when where?
gladiola's you can cut anywhere. on roses the top leaves have 3 leaves as you go farther down you will have 5 leaves. cut just above any of the 5 leaf ones. also if you want long stem roses as they start to bud if you have more that 1 bud per stem, trim off the outter buds. which are considered secondary.


I think freesias will multiply.
Reply:The Japanese who grow flowers by the acre cut their flowers at 18". For many reasons, but primarily because a cut flower needs some stalk to draw nutrients up and into the flowers head. With a short stalk cut flowers don't last very long and may perish before they reach their destination.
Reply:I'm not the best with a green thumb, but when I'm cutting flowers for vases and what not, usually I take the vase out with me, and cut a little more than needed - I can trim them up later to get the right fit for the container. Try taking selections from all over the plant, not just in one spot.





I'm sure there are other suggestions as well


What types and colour flowers would go with burgundy bridesmaid dresses?

I'm wearing an ivory wedding dress and having burgundy bridesmaid dresses. Initially I planned to have a dark plum colour for the bridesmaids as my favourite colour is purple but the dresses which suited my bridesmaids best came in burgundy (the closest colour they had).





I was going to have cream roses with purple freesias and purple sweet peas. Do freesias and sweet peas come in burgundy? (I can't find any pictures) and would some purple flowers go with burgundy, which is a bit more red?

What types and colour flowers would go with burgundy bridesmaid dresses?
hi bina, there's a burgundy rose with cream flecks through it ,the cream almost looks like paint splash's.. it's called abrakadabra.. it would be perfect for you ,mixed with a cream sweet pea or cream freesia.. for the brides maids a cream rose called vendella would be great.. if you go for cream for yourself it'll just blend in with the dress. where as if you go for the burgundy and leave the brides maids with the cream it'll compliment everything..if you want to put some colour in the bridesmaids dresses ,there's a lovely little flower called allium bullit.. it starts off really deep burgundy on the bottom and goes up to a purple at the top..another lovely burgundy one is zantadescia schwalder..also known as the calla lilly.. hope this helps.. good luck with the big day.. oh and yes i'm a florist..!!
Reply:cream or yellow so that it will contrast w/ the burgundy....avoid red, pink, or burgundy flowers....
Reply:I would say plain cream roses, wrapped with a burgundy ribbon, and little gems / diamonds protruding from the tops on sliver sticks that can't be seen!


Plain, Simple but so stylish and gorgeous looking!
Reply:try tiger lilies...some come white with a deep red center that would go well with the colors of your wedding or you could talk to a florist about what you are looking for
Reply:the cream and purple sound lovely, most florists will dye flowers to suit the colour you want if they don't match the colour you want.
Reply:I would stick with the cream roses which would be a contrast.
Reply:why do nt you have fr ur bridesmaids red roses with cream roses with a touch of all the other flower s ur having it would look lovely and in keeping with ur s





good luck its my turn in aug to get married
Reply:Yes sweet peas do come in burgundy. The cream roses sound lovely.
Reply:talk to the florist they may be able to spray them for you!!
Reply:Go for deep red and cream roses. They look lovely.
Reply:cream flowers, yellow and possibly burgundy roses. You can have them spayed to your desired colour.
Reply:You sound exactly like me I'm having cream roses with like that fancy Burgundy beading over the top.
Reply:I think a small round bouquet of white carnations and small pink roses would be very pretty and fresh in contrast to the burgundy. happy nuptuals
Reply:deep red and cream
Reply:you have the opposite to what i had, mine was burgundy, bridesmaid ivory, i chose dark red roses, cream lillies, looked lovely, a mixture in both, with the contrast colour more than the other
Reply:OMG ME AND YOU THINK SOOOO MUCH ALIKE!!!!





lol i'm having red bridesmaid dressing first i wanted purple myself. but anywas so i decide to use both those colors.





so red dresses and purple flowers...tahts what i'm doing. and then have the groom wear a purple tie and the groomsmen a red tie...thats what i'm doing!
Reply:Hi what I would do is have them have ivory roses to match your dress and you have burgundy flowers to match the bridesmaids. Im sure they come in burgundy i know freesias come in purple but I dont know about sweet peas. If you let the flourist know what you want then they should be able to do it for you.





Why not just all off you have purple flowers, in the colour purple you wanted. It will still look good and make your dress and the bridemaids dresses stand out.


Help with weeds!?

I have a garden in my front yard with roses, tulips, freesia, lilac, and two types of succulents (not sure what they are). It is a very full garden and looks great but I have these annoying vine type weeds that grow all over everything. It goes like crazy, wraps around my roses, takes over. I am constantly pulling them up and can never get them all - then in 2 days they are all back!





Is there some type of weed killer I can get that will get the vine thing but not hurt my plants? Any other ideas as to how I can get rid of these stinkin vines?





I would prefer to use something organic, if at all possible. Thanks!

Help with weeds!?
You can try a pre-emergent like Preen; although, I've had little luck with that specific product.





Organically, theres a corn extract/byproduct that a local orgainic gardening shop says works well as a weed suppressor in grass. The generic stuff is called Corn Gluten. This may work, its supposed to contain something that prevents seed germination so it should interfer with the other plants.
Reply:Try to cut the vine back so that only about 4 leaves are left near the ground. Then, use a household-type sprayer (like an old Windex bottle) and mix up some Killsall (glysophate) at the recommended concentration. Early in the morning (when there are few breezes) CAREFULLY spray the leaves (cover your "good" plants with plastic or a piece of cardboard if they are very close to the vine). Just wet the leaves. In 2 weeks, that vine will be DEAD and won't come back.





Make SURE the product you use contains ONLY glyphosate. Any other chemicals will kill your good plants.

I would guess that they are Dollar Weed. Not seeing them I can not tell.


The best way to get rid if them is take a good hunk of them them to a major local landscape nursery. Locals are more aware of the native common weeds. Do not even bother with Home Depot. Ask them for a chemical OR method that will get rid of them.


Take photos of the surrounding plants and the flower bed. Weeds are flowers we do not want. They require certain conditions to live. Your photo will show him what you are doing to provide the plants a happy home. And he can help you provide the ones you want with a happier home.





If your name is Verna I am really sorry for giving you those plants please forgive me! 8)

Oh, sorry.


Uhm, your brainwaves, isn't it?
Reply:Sleep is a natural state of bodily rest observed throughout the animal kingdom. It is common to all mammals and birds, and is also seen in many reptiles, amphibians and fish.





In humans, other mammals, and a substantial majority of other animals which have been studied — such as fish, birds, ants, and fruit-flies — regular sleep is essential for survival. However its purposes are only partly clear and are the subject of intense research





Drowsiness


Tryptophan


The amino acid tryptophan is a building block of the protein found in foods. It contributes to sleepiness. Carbohydrates make tryptophan more available to the brain, which is why carbohydrate-heavy meals containing tryptophan tend to cause drowsiness.





Melatonin


Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone that regulates sleepiness. It is made in the brain where tryptophan is converted into serotonin and then into melatonin, which is released at night by the pineal gland to induce and maintain sleep. Melatonin supplementation may be used as a sleep aid.


The "Post-Lunch Dip"


Many people have a temporary drop in alertness in early afternoon, commonly known as the post-lunch dip. While a large meal, rich in carbohydrates, can make a person feel sleepy, the post-lunch dip is mostly an effect of the biological clock. People naturally feel most sleepy at two different times of the day: about 2:00 AM and 2:00 PM.





Alcohol


Alcoholic beverages aid relaxation and commonly are used as a sleep aid. Alcohol tends, however, to disrupt sleep throughout the night and can prevent the deeper stages of sleep from occurring





also the fact that mammals are warm blooded our bodies must conserve energy and we do this by sleeping,


little energy + sleep = less energy used meaning more energy.
Reply:Mayabe a better questin is what makes you not sleep - - - answers are - - to sleep - - - - - being able to "RELAX" and feel peacefull





Usually not being able to sleep - - would mean you have all these thoughts running around in your mind - - what am I doing tomorrow, where am I going, what time do I have to be here, what's going to happen when I get there - - with 5,463 thoughts going through your mind, lets hope you don't have to be sharp the next morning - because you will be tired then!

Why does it seem like all designer perfumes smell the same?

Do any smell like rose oil,Orchid, Freesia, or hyacinth's?

Why does it seem like all designer perfumes smell the same?
Stella's Sheer or the orginial, Stella. It's very rosy and wonderful!
Reply:Maybe because alot of people use similar ingredients and scents in their perfums. I would also assume that they use these ingredients so that they kind of play it safe. Because everyone likes different things. So maybe to appeal to alot of people with different tastes they try and make scents that are either floral, light etc. so that it's not too strong yet not too light. Basically just to appeal to alot of people because then they get more business. hope this makes sense! :)
Reply:It sounds like you prefer a single scent rather than a blend (which most perfumes are). You might try Valerie's Uncommon Scents: http://www.valeriesuncommonscents.com/se... She has single scents and blends. I've been quite happy with my purchases there.


Planting a garden for the first time in a looong time, I need a little guidance with websites if possible?

I live in zone 5 for planting. I remember growing up we had these flowers, but I don't remember how well they grew. I have a list of flowers that I would like to grow, but in different zones, i.e. 7-10 or 8-10. I need specifics, i.e. perennials or annuals, height, width, flower well, soil type, drainage) for the following flowers. If you do all the flowers with all the specifics I will give as best answer. I would give stars if I knew how. Thanks in advance!








1~Twinkle toes~zone 7-10


2~Dwarf Gladiolus~zone 7-10


3~Fringed Gladiolus~zone 8-10


4~Mixed Freesia~ zone 9-10


5~Mexican Shell Flowers~ zone 8-10





PS. Are pansies perennials?

Planting a garden for the first time in a looong time, I need a little guidance with websites if possible?
No pansies are not perennials. They are annuals. But there are a variety of garden books avaiable that you should purchase.





One is that I have is called the Gardeners Veggie Bible. It tells you everything about how to start garden, til how to make a compost and a leave pile. I have learned a lot of it from reading this book.


Another helpful book is called "The Encylopedia of Flowers." As with other botanical plants, this book can be indeed very helpful , for those of us who are interested in green houses .





I do not know where zone 5 is. I live in Northern Utah. For me it's between zone 6a and 6 b. Also your state gardening association could be a great help. Good luck.
Reply:pansies are considered a annual, but are perennials. they bloom in the fall.

Lily -

What's the worst flower you can give someone?

Everyone knows that flowers have different meanings and messages, like a red rose is passion and freesia is innocene,





So what is the flower that has the worst meaning to it?





Just curious :D





Thanks!

What's the worst flower you can give someone?
A Calla Lily or Death Lily is a symbol of death.


Leaves can be confused with wild onions. Found in America and Siberia. It's fatal to humans and animals. Symptoms start with burning lips and grow to slow heart beat, low temperature, coma and finally death.
Reply:Thank you for giving me best answer! Cheers! Report It

Reply:I don't think there is a "worse flower" b/c if someone was to give you flowers at all it usually means that they care about you and took the time to pick something to give you, so it should be appreciated and as the old saying goes "it's the thought that counts" and even if you don't like it, common courtesy says you should at least pretend not to hurt their feelings.
Reply:I don't know which has the worst meaning (I don't think any really do), but personally, the Venus Fly Trap would be a pretty horrible flower to give someone.

Glads/June/Juy


Freesia - June/July


Orchid Glads/June/July


Canna/End of May


Sparaxis/June


Liatris/Mid-May


Asiati/Golden Splendor Lily late May


Dahlia = two weeks after planting outdors after all danger of frost - usually planted at end of April for mid-May start - can be started indoors in January and pinched back for lateral growth and nice bushy plants.





The above poster is correct in that these are not seedlings, as they come from bulbs, corms and tbers, but I new what you meant! ;^D
Reply:They are not seedlings; they are not coming from seed. It all depends on temps and mositure; at least a couple weeks.

Anyone tried Victoria's Secret *Sexual Secret* or Limited Edition *Isle Of Pink* perfumes?

What did they smell like? Which was better? Did you buy either?





(I'm a perfume -and- candle maniac and love smelling, buying and talking scents lol!)





*Sexual Secret*~Ultra-flirtatious, sexy and luscious to the core. This fragrance has a secret ingredient that lingers on the skin, an aphrodisiac so precious it is never to be revealed, but always remembered.


Fragrance type: fruity oriental


Top notes: red mandarin, pink mango


Middle notes: rose, lotus flower, jasmine


Low notes: white musk, amber, cashmere wood





*Isle Of Pink*~Think Caribbean beach club and cute cabana boys, with a flirty blend of raspberry sorbet, iced tulip and vanilla bean. It's a spring break vacation, in a bottle.


Fragrance type: fruity floral


Top notes: raspberry sorbet, pink currant, frozen mango, sugar apple, coconut water


Middle note: iced tulip, heliotrope, freesia water, rose nectar


Low notes: amber, cashmere musk, vanilla bean





Both sound scrumptious! And yes, I am a VS scent junkie! =D

What do bluebells smell like?

I was just looking up bluebells in Wikipedia, and I think they are absolutely lovely. However, they are not common here in California...or at least not my part of it. Can anyone tell me what bluebells might smell like? Are they similar to freesia, or are they completely unique.

Quilting by machine question. Opinions on Fabumotion w/stitch regulator? Is it worth it? No $ for longarm!!?

No space or $ for a longarm or the space for EZ quilter. I want to step up my machine quilting abilities..but it's hard to do without some gadgetry. I have a Viking Freesia (love it) and want to start doing something a bit fancier in my quilting. Saw this Fabumotion w/stitch regulator at a show..but the back of the "test drive" quilt looked bad to me..not good proof of the value in this gadget. So asking for guidance by other quilters or those who have tried this thing. Dealers NOT welcome to answer, please!

Quilting by machine question. Opinions on Fabumotion w/stitch regulator? Is it worth it? No $ for longarm!!?
I have an SE and have played with the Fabumotion. I have been using a Teflon sheet attached to the quilting bed of my machine for a couple of years now and have been contemplating the Fabric mover. It does take some practice to get the hang of it, but I've seen some impressive stuff from people who hadn't spent too much time with it. I think a lot depends on how good you are with freemotion stitching to start with. If you are a good stippler, etc with your Freesia, then this wouldn't be a giant leap for you. The large work area and even stitching are what keep drawing me back to continue to look at it.


How do I grow bulbs in Zone 9 Houston, TX?

I have the following bulbs:





Freesia


Daffodil


Narcissus paperwhites


Tulips





It is October. They are to be planted between October and December. Do I go out and plant them or do I put them in my fridge until December? I am so confused. Should I supplement the soil with something?

How do I grow bulbs in Zone 9 Houston, TX?
In Houston, it's still very warm, as you know. Your bulbs require about 14 weeks of cold temperatures (although not freezing) to bloom successfully in the spring. That being the case, it's best to chill your bulbs in the fridge until the ground is cold for the winter. I've known people who simply kept them in the fridge until late January or early February. At that point, you can put them in the ground and you should be ok.





You probably won't need to put any fertilizers in the ground until next year, if the bulbs were healthy and good quality from a reputable supplier.
Reply:I might be wrong, but I believe Paperwhites are easy to grow in Houston without the fridge trick. Freesias are done in by the hot humid summers, not the lack of cold, I believe. They are from warm areas of the world, with hot DRY summers.


A caution: I have heard that one must be careful not to store bulbs near ripening fruits and vegetables in the fridge. I think it is the methane (?) gas the veggies put out that is harmful to the bulbs.


A suggestion: Give up on the northern bulbs and enjoy the great bulbs that grow in Houston that northerners would die for, like Rain Lilies (Zephranthes) Crinums, Spider Lilies (Hymenocallis), St Joseph's Lilies, Aztec Lilies, Lilies of the Nile (Agapanthus), Hurricane Lilies (Lycoris), and Tuberoses. Many are hard to find, and available mostly from neighbors and friends across-the-fence, but that is part of the fun.
Reply:Your bulbs need to be chilled in the refrigerator for 8 weeks at least. A good rule to go by in houston is to put them in around Halloween and take them out of the fridge and plant on New Year's day. You can use bone meal to put into the hole when you plant.





The Daffodils and paperwhites will probably naturalize because I have seen them growing in Houston before but the Tulips will not. You will have to treat these as annuals and next year plant a whole new bunch of bulbs. I am not sure about freesia, though.

Are most bulbed plants perrenials?

I just planted two types of bulbs I got at the store and it doesnty say if they are perrenials. They are freesia and gladioli. I assumed they would be since they are bulbs, is this true?

Are most bulbed plants perrenials?
All bulbs are pernnials, why else would a plant form a bulb but to protect itself during its domrant period.





This is not the answer you are looking for. You want to know if the bulbs your pruchased are hardy in your area.


Freesias and glads are typically not hardy unless you live in a warm climate where they will not freeze.





For most of us, Freesias an glads are typically planted each spring, they flower and then we dig them up in late autumn and store them or throw them away and buy new one the next year.
Reply:yes, they will continue to come up every spring.........annuals are plants that dont winter over, just try to keep the bulbs as dry as you can over the winter months so they dont rot, you can always dig them up
Reply:It depends where you live. Here in Maine, they would be annuals. We dig up glads to store them for the winter, but we don't bother with freesia because winter would come before it has a chance to mature.





If you are in zone 8 or higher, they're perennials. Here is a map so you can tell.


http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/wilds...





.
Reply:Perennials are well liked by many gardeners, there is a couple of main reasons for this. Not only will they bloom well for several seasons but they also come in a wide selection of shapes, colors and sizes. This is where perennial gardens differ to annuals.





Annuals have to planted every new season, where as perennials can remain in the ground to bloom for over a number of seasons. This makes the process of gardening with perennials a lot cheaper due to the fact that they do not need constantly replaced. The perennial garden is also much easier to maintain.





Take a look at my website.
Reply:Not all are,depending on where you live dahlias and some others need to be taken up,and stored over winter.


Ask the guys over at : http://www.lawnsite.com they have a homeowner Q%26amp;A section.

Need a replacement for discontinued AVON Natori perfume?

This is a wonderful (for my chemistry) perfume that is no longer manufactured by Avon, base notes: Freesia, violet, geranium, rose, orris, tonka bean, benzoin, sandalwood. Does anyone have any suggestions on similar scents?

Need a replacement for discontinued AVON Natori perfume?
Whenever Avon discontinues a fragrance, they normally have a replacement suggestion. Go to AVON.com and select the "assistance" button. Then select "contact us" and send them an e-mail asking what their suggestion is for the replacement of Natori. They normally answer the question in two days. Good luck!
Reply:Noa By cacharel is a nice alternative and sort of similar.

Should the flower on the corsage and bouttoneire be the same?

I'm taking my friend to her prom, and we agreed to go ahead and do the whole flower bit. But I wasn't sure if I could get her an orchid, freesia, or some other flower I thought looked nice, and if so should I tell her what kind? Does it look bad if the flowers aren't matching, like a rose corsage and a rose bouttoneire together? Would it look TOO weird if I got her a different exotic type of flower and she gives me a rose bouttoneire?

Should the flower on the corsage and bouttoneire be the same?
Whatever you go with will be just fine. The most important thing is to ask her what color her dress is, so you can get her a flower that matches.


As far as whether both flowers should be the same, I don't think they need to be. I think they should be the same or similar in color though.


Just my opinion! :)
Reply:I would ask here, she may have a favourite flower.


Its very considerate of you to think about her likes %26amp; dislikes too


Good Luck %26amp; have a great time.
Reply:no they dont need to be, be traditional with a rose or white flower or a favorite you both want


Help with weeds!?

I have a garden in my front yard with roses, tulips, freesia, lilac, and two types of succulents (not sure what they are). It is a very full garden and looks great but I have these annoying vine type weeds that grow all over everything. It goes like crazy, wraps around my roses, takes over. I am constantly pulling them up and can never get them all - then in 2 days they are all back!





Is there some type of weed killer I can get that will get the vine thing but not hurt my plants? Any other ideas as to how I can get rid of these stinkin vines?





I would prefer to use something organic, if at all possible. Thanks!

Help with weeds!?
I can not provide you with an organic solution but I can tell you how to control the vines.


The most effective herbicide is Round up. The problem is you have to be very careful not to get any on your plants. A little on the stem is not such a big deal but be careful.


There are other herbicides that you can use that are selective herbicides, which means they only control certain vegetation.


They require a little reading of labels and are generally not as effective.


I would hand pull the best I could to create a buffer around the plant and spray in between with Round up.





Good Luck

Do all bulbs come back year after year?

Do all bulbs come back year after year? I am looking at a book of flowers and most of them are bulbs. Some of the different flowers are Hardy Gladiolus, Ixia, Lilys, Ranunculus, Dahliias, Jalapa, Bleeding Hearts (which are not bulbs) and Freesia. Do all those flowers come back year after year? I think they do but not to sure.

Do all bulbs come back year after year?
If you plant bulbs that are winter hardy in your zone, then they should come back. However, tulips only last a couple of years, before being eaten by squirrels and stuff. Perhaps this is a problem with some other bulbs, as well. Daffodils, on the other hand, seem pretty invincible. They multiply nicely. So do crocus, Lilly of the valley (rhizomes, not bulbs, but close), and others. Research what will grow happily in your area. But I'd start with daffodils. They come in a large variety of colors and styles, and are quite satisfying. I also like Bleeding Hearts, which can be frozen out in the winter, and all day lillys, which also spread. Iris is also hardy and spreads to the point of needing thinning. Hostas, also rhizomes, like iris and lilly of the valley, spread nicely, and are hardy in most zones, too.
Reply:Most will,I have some that we planted in 1974!They bloom every spring. Just for the record, I planted tulips about eight years ago. I have them bloom every year,some are starting to come up now!
Reply:Some flowering bulbs do come back every year, but it depends heavily on what zone you live in. Glads, ranunculus, dahlias and freesia need to be dug up and stored in a cool location in the fall if you live where the ground will freeze. Tulips and daffodils and bleeding hearts don't have to be dug up and will overwinter just fine. However, tulips don't flower for more than two years in a row, generally their first year is the best.
Reply:No. some need to be dug out of the ground and re-planted every year. Now, granted some will come back anyway but if you don't want to chance loosing them then dig em up and put them in the basement of even your fridge. And some that do come back every year could turn into squirrel or other rodent food. So I would watch whats hardy in your area and plant from there.
Reply:Yes unless they rot in the ground or a rodent eats them.
Reply:------------no


not all bulbs come back year after year


for a bulb to come back it has to be planted in the right conditions in the right climate zone.


Many bulbs and other plants have the potential to come back each year- they are called perennials.


of the list you gave


I do quite well with Bleeding Hearts in my garden


but the moles and voles wreak havoc on the lilies,


Gladiolus, ixia, dahlias, freesia- are not tolerant of the temperatures during winter here so they must be stored inside.


Dahlias get eated by the deer


Lilies bloom when it is hot so the flowers don't last long





you might do some more reading specific to your area


find out your climate zone
