I'm lucky, I can grow them in the garden. I love watching things grow, especially when there will be a beautiful result. And there is something so mystical and magical about watching the bulb come to life. Really good clarity and composition here, Karen. V

and it will be just in time flowering at Christmas, how clever those nursery people are!
and if you grow it yourself Karen, you are just as clever, as it isn't easy to do it yourself!
