PeckhamRose Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Hi all - me and a mate have just re-planted a large honeysuckle into a new big pot. The old pot contained what we discovered were loads and loads of bulbs. They had grown out leaves but never flowered because (a) I suspect there wasn't room for them along with the honeysuckle itself and (b) the bulbs were not at the correct depth and, maybe, © there were just too many of them.I have split the bulbs, some were in bunches of up to 8 of different sizes! I can only assume they are tulips because I seem to remember many years ago I planted tulip bulbs somewhere and I am not sure if they were in that particular pot with the honeysuckle. Yet they may not all be tulips. So there we are. If you fancy coming along and grabbing a handful of bulbs to plant feel free to reply and I can PM you my address. I can leave them outside the front door in case I am not in, and you can take some. The pot in the photo is about 7 inches high by the way. I shall leave them in that pot so you know what to look out for.Sorry for length of post! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeckhamRose Posted September 4, 2017 Author Share Posted September 4, 2017 Hi Sue. They vary in size on the same clump but yet if they look like crocus some may be. However, for a crocus the leaves came over a foot long. So maybe some are and others are tulips? Want some? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
