Oh wow - I must take a look at mine and see if there's any sign of life yet!

Hmmm...I have broken my own rule (and good practice) which is to DATE the labels! I forgot.

Dont worry Geranium I didn't label mine either,

Do you think mine had a huge corm that rotted and all mine are babies? I didn't see anything that looked like the remains of a corm, neither was there a hole in the compost where one might have been.

I was given them so I don't know what type they are, I also had no idea which way up they were supposed to be so I just spread them out, covered them with compost and put them on a windowsill.
