With a prolonged drought affecting much of Australia last Summer we wondered how our flowers would perform this year. Here the drought was followed by excellent Winter and Spring rains and the ability of bulbs to thrive in such weather extremes has been evident yet NOTES on GROWING BULBS in POTS air. We guess Daffodils will grow fairly well just about anywhere in the Southern States of Australia - We are asked many question about growing bulbs in pots. The following is whatever the weather conditions. Certainly Summer our basic method for growing potted Autumn, Winter and Spring flowering droughts and bushfires don't harm them. Amazingly, all our other bulbs bulbs (including some "difficult" items such as Erythronium, Galanthus and Fritillaria) have performed wonderfully too. Obviously not too much 1.

Bulbs require very little fertilizer - perhaps a little potash (we use wood-ash). with a large foyer display plus some excellent competitive Daffodils at the Claremont Show on 2nd and 3rd September. Seven Champion Awards with Grand and Reserve Champion in Show tell the story there. Five days later we sent a large foam box of flowers on the bus to Wynyard Show. Just as the box was thrown over the counter into the Name Label Freight Depot R.B. realised that perhaps buses aren't the best show transport. But, Sam and Elaine Biggins at Wynyard salvaged all but one Layer of Mulch flower from the box - and must have benched them well too. Glenbrook won enough 1st and 2nd prizes to win the prize for Most Successful Exhibitor in Show. Thanks Sam and Elaine!
