becky, you might not find Electra, but autumn catalogues won't be out for a while.

My snowdrops haven't lasted very long this year, last year it was very cold and they went on forever, I don't really want colder weather though!

Tamara, if your crocus are peeking now they shouldn't take long.

The sun shone today, the crocus were wide open and lots of them, I keep thinking they must deteriorate as some of the species have done but they must be in a better place. With increasing so much and setting seed eventually I will have to split them, for now I just enjoy! The Tete-a-tete behind the purple crocus are looking better this year too, I have a bunch in a drier spot which have grown very well.

The primroses, my own natural cross I grew from seed off P x beesiana, are doing really well. The flowers are all different shades, I can see where the crosses came from, but these flowers are huge.
