No not really, just those euro diagram things, but I couldn't see a
bloke out in the frost digging up the bulbs .............


AFAIK you plant them in containers,


Mine are going in the front garden in the ground ......... hence my
question

feed and water like crazy once they
show a bit of foliage, they flower beautifully, then when the first
autumn frost comes you take 'em out (their foliage has been chopped off
by the frost). Store 'em in a dark cool place (wrapped in newspaper/in
sand in the garage) then stick 'em in a container again about now - when
they being to show foliage, water and feed like crazy.


Great many thanks....
