If you put them in as bulbs, be prepared for some disappointment in the spring, assuming they behave like our native ones. They prefer being transplanted in the green. -- Rusty horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co full-stop uk http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |

d'Alltrades writes Russia's a *BIG* place. And *ALL* of it gets colder than here, thanks to us being kept warm by the Gulfstream. Even Vladivostok? Even Vladivostok http://www.climate-zone.com/climate/...ladivostok.htm In the FSU Baku has January temperatures comparable to the UK's, so I'd guess that the same might be the case for bits of Turkmenistan as well. Sochi (Black Sea coast of Ciscaucasia) looks as if it doesn't get colder than the UK. http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/world/c...ml?tt=TT004520 -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |

Many of our favourite garden bulbs come from places with severe winters, but drier than most of the British Isles. -- Mike. |
