Plant Photos It is sad to reflect that in England so few gardens open to the public label their plants or label them so that the label is visible when that plant is in flower, so that visitors can identify; and then later locate and purchase that plant. Few mail-order nurseries provide the detail as shown in my rose or heather galleries. If you want to sell a product, it is best to display it. When I sold my Transit van, I removed its signage, cleaned it and took photos of the inside and outside before putting them onto an advert in Autotrader amongst more than 2000 other Transit vans - it was sold in 20 minutes. If mail-order nurseries could put photos to the same complexity from start of the year to its end with the different foliage colours and stages of flowering on Wikimedia Commons, then the world could view the plant before buying it, and idiots like me would have valid material to work with. I have been in the trade (until ill health forced my Sole Trader retirement in 2013) working in designing, constructing and maintaining private gardens for decades and since 2005 when this site was started, I have asked any nursery in the world to supply photos. R.V. Roger in Yorkshire allowed me to use his photos from his website in 2007 and when I got a camera to spend 5 days in July 2014 at my expense taking photos of his roses growing in his nursery field, whilst his staff was propagating them. I gave him a copy of those photos. |
Chionodoxa (Glory of the Snow) Chionodoxa, known as glory-of-the-snow, is a small genus of bulbous perennial flowering plants in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Scilloideae, often included in Scilla. |

|
|
|
|
Pot, in October and November, 10 bulbs in a 5 inch (12.5 cms) or 4 in in a 3 inch (7.5 cms) vessel. Use specially prepared bulb fibre or John Innes compost and treat as for Hyacinths. Water. Do not water freely until growth starts, and, when the leaves start to die down restrict water again. Fertilisers. None are needed when special compost is used. Temperature. Once growth has started and the corms are well rooted they will do best if grown at from 55 degrees Fahrenheit (13 degrees Celsius) to 60 degrees Fahrenheit (15.5 degrees Celsius). Position. South or west window with adequate light. Flowering. Through December, January and February, depending on the variety. Use corms of a size not less than 7-8 cms. Resting. After flowering, and when the leaves have died down and the bulbs have ripened, they can be planted in the garden. It is not advisable to use them for house work in 2 successive seasons. |

Pot from August to November, 18-20 small bulbs or 3-5 larger 1 inch (2.5 cms) deep, and 1 inch apart, in a 5-inch (12.5 cms) pot, using John Innes No. 2, or a mixture of 2 parts sandy loam, 1 part leaf-mould, 1 part sand. After potting they should be plunged until growth has started, when they can be brought to a cool, well-lighted window. Warer moderately until after flowering and then dry off the bulbs. Fertilisers. Occasional dose of complete fertiliser, up to flowering. Temperature. 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 degrees Celsius). |

Daffodil and Narcissi |
|
|
|
|
|
Narcissi Classification. The Royal Horticultural Society has recently revised the classification of Daffodils. There are now (in 1953 - in 1975 the Revised Classification increased this to 13 and the RHS published this in the International Register of Daffodil names and I have detailed these in the Narcissus Gallery) 11 main divisions, which are divided into various sub-sections. The purpose of this is that there should be some clear distinction between the many groups of Daffodils. It does not seem necessary that the ordinary gardener or person wishing to grow Daffodils in the house should worry overmuch about the exact classification of the particular variety. Therefore the varieties which are suggested later have been grouped into one or other of the 11 main divisions of classification. Thus, Jonquilla (Div. 7), Tazetta (Div. 8), Cyclamineus (Div. 6) are shown under Minatures; while the Trumpets, classified under Division 1 with 3 sub-sections, are grouped simply under Trumpets. Even this may be thought a little pedantic, but the reader has only to pick up the many good bulb catalogues issued every year to find that the Daffodils are listed under their exact Horticultural classification. Pot in August to November, in a 5 inch (12.5 cms) pot or bowl, 3 large (D.N. I), 6 medium (D.N. II) or 12 smaller bulbs. Plant them in either bulb fibre, John Innes compost or a mixture of 2 parts loam, 1 part leaf-mould, 1 part sand. To the last medium add 3 teaspoonfuls of medium bone-meal, or 2 teaspoonfuls of superphosphates to each 5 inch (12.5 cms) receptacle used. A non-porous vessel must be used when planting is done in bulb fibre. After planting give the compost a thorough soaking, preferably by standing the pot in a few inches of water until the surface of the fibre becomes moist throughout. Water. From potting until the time when the foliage dies the fibre must be kept continually moist. Watering should be increased from the time that top growth starts. The miniature Narcissi need rather more water than the bigger varieties, at all times. Fertilisers. Little fertiliser is needed if the initial dose of bone-meal is administered with the potting mixture. But from the emergence of the flower bud a complete fertiliser can be watered into the pots to ensure good-quality and robust flowers and to help build up the bulb. Temperature. 40 degrees Fahrenheit (4.4 degrees Celsius) from potting time until rooted (approximately 6 weeks); 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 degrees Celsius) for leaf and stem growth; 60 degrees Fahrenheit (15.5 degrees Celsius) for flower development. These temperatures are ideals and almost impossible to maintain over the time needed and under average house conditions. Nevertheless it is possible to get satisfactory results with conditions which come close to such ideals. When about 3 inches (7.5 cms) of leaf growth has been made they can be put in a sunny window at a temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit (15.5 degrees Celsius). |
Trumpet Daffodils (Division 1) Large Cup Narcissi (Division 2 ) Small Cup Narcissi ( Division 3 ) Poetaz Narcissi (Dvision 8) with more than 1 flower on a stem Double Narcissi (Division 4) Miniatures Treat these Miniature bulbs in the same way as the ordinary Narcissi. They need, however, to be potted in a rougher compost than that used for normal Daffodils. If ordinary bulb fibre is used, add a proportion of fine flint grit and a greater proportion than is normal of oyster shell. All the Miniature Daffodils need more water than the ordinary kind, but particularly Narcissus Cyclamineus and Narcissus Bulbocodium. In potting, it is best to plant 6-8 bulbs to a 5-inch (12.5 cm) pan and to leave them undisturbed for from 2 to 3 years. |

These bulbous plants are very suitable for hanging pots, owing to their rather soft and falling growth. Pot winter-flowering kinds in September; spring-flowering kinds in January; summer-flowering kinds in March and April; and autumn-flowering kinds in August. Plat 1 in a 3-inch (7.5 cms) or 6 in 5-inch (12.5 cms) pot at from 0.5 to 0.75 inches (1.25-1-8.75 cms) deep. Their essential needs are good drainage and adequate lime with the potting mixture, which can otherwise be any good friable soil. Water sparingly until growth is about 0.25 inches (6mm) above the soil; thereafter water freely. Relax watering when the flowers begin to fade and keep them quite dry until growth starts again. Fertiliser. Water-in a complete fertiliser as soon as the flower buds begin to form. Temperature. 50-60 degrees Fahrenheit (10-15.5 degrees Celsius). Position. A south window in full light and with maximum sunlight. Resting. When the flowers are over, the bulbs should be allowed to become quite dry and to remain in this state until growth starts again. The general rest period lasts from about 8 to 10 weeks. |

Flowers in April with dainty white flowers shaded and striped with blue. 4 inches (10 cms). Plant in shallow pan and treat as Eranthis, etc:- Pot into 3-inch (7.5 cm) pots or pans in October. Tubers should be put at 0.5 inch (1.25 cm) deep and close together (about 6-8 in a 3-4 inch (7.5-10 cms) pan). Bulb fibre is a satisfactory potting medium, but equal parts of leaf-mould, loam and sand can be used. Water moderately at all times. Temperature. When taken from the cold in December they should be brought for 3-4 weeks into an atmosphere of 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 degrees Celsius). They need the coolest possible conditions and are better when not brought into a warmer temerature until in bud. |

Pot in bulb fibre from August to November, planting from 3 to 5 large-size bulbs 1 inch (2.5 cms) deep in a 5-inch (12.5 cms) pot. Thereafter they should be treated as for Narcissi:- "A non-porous vessel must be used when planting is done in bulb fibre. After planting give the compost a thorough soaking, preferably by standing the pot in a few inches of water until the surface of the fibre becomes moist throughout. Water. From potting until the time when the foliage dies the fibre must be kept continually moist. Watering should be increased from the time that top growth starts. The miniature Narcissi need rather more water than the bigger varieties, at all times."
Temperature. Once planted, Scillas should be kept as cool as possible. They will not stand being forced. Position. South or west window. Flowering. Under cool room temperatures Scillas will flower from February to March. After flowering the bulbs can be planted in the garden. |

The range of Tulips that can be grown for early flowering is, unfortunately, far more limited than that of the Daffodils. This is because such types as the Single Earlies, Double Earlies and Mendels need a higher constant temperature than is possible in the average room. The Single Earlies need an unvarying 70 degrees Fahrenheit (21 degrees Celsius), while the Double Earlies and Mendels need 65 degrees Fahrenheit (18 degrees Celsius). However, for early flowers the following varieties can be used:- TRIUMPH PARROT COTTAGE These varieties will not succeed unless they are grown under comparitively cool conditions. It is most important to distinguish between true forcing and protected culivation; the latter is the condition under which plants are grown in the normal living-room. Unless high temperatures can be maintained in a living-room over some weeks it is not possible to force Tulips to very early flowering and it will generally be more worthwhile to select from the Early Singles, Early Doubles, Late Doubles, Mendels and Darwins, which can be successfully grown for later flowering. Suitable varieties are: EARLY SINGLE EARLY DOUBLES MENDELS TRIUMPH DARWIN SPECIES Pot into a 6-inch (15 cms) pot from 5-6 bulbs at 2.5 inches (6.25 cms) deep, using the same potting mixture as for Narcissi: Keep them plunged for approximately 8 weeks, when growth should be almost 3-4 inches (7.5-10 cms) high. The time of potting should be in October and early November - the earlier the better. Treatment after potting is the same as for Narcissi:- "Water. From potting until the time when the foliage dies the fibre must be kept continually moist. Watering should be increased from the time that top growth starts. The miniature Narcissi need rather more water than the bigger varieties, at all times. Fertilisers. Little fertiliser is needed if the initial dose of bone-meal is administered with the potting mixture. But from the emergence of the flower bud a complete fertiliser can be watered into the pots to ensure good-quality and robust flowers and to help build up the bulb. Temperature. 40 degrees Fahrenheit (4.4 degrees Celsius) from potting time until rooted (approximately 6 weeks); 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 degrees Celsius) for leaf and stem growth; 60 degrees Fahrenheit (15.5 degrees Celsius) for flower development. These temperatures are ideals and almost impossible to maintain over the time needed and under average house conditions. Nevertheless it is possible to get satisfactory results with conditions which come close to such ideals. When about 3 inches (7.5 cms) of leaf growth has been made they can be put in a sunny window at a temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit (15.5 degrees Celsius)." |
