I keep seeing several at once on a stem or in a new leaf. I don't know that little bulb, Louise. Maybe Seaburn will be able to help us?

Miniature Tulip 'Peach Blossom'

Dicentra

Geum 'Marmalade'

Clematis 'Lagoon'

This white Gaura was given to me by Geranium last year and it's the strongest one i have here - it's the first one to come to life too.

This is the Geranium 'Bill Wallis' she gave me

This 2 stemmed plant is a white Hibiscus that was given to me by Sweetpea, he'd grown it from seed and it was about 2.5" high 2 or 3 years ago. Here it is, coming to life and is now about 12" high.

This is Alstroemeria 'Selina', (in the middle of the picture) it's a mix of white, pink and yellow with bronze felcks.
It's a very strong grower here in this garden and i need to split it up soon, if anyone would like some pieces PM and i'll get your details.

I won't be asking for some Alstro in the light of my dismal failure with them in the past.

The tiny ones that you saw here the other week have come on a little bit but not a lot.
