So they are called Wild Swan. So they are not invasive. I think this month is for anemones. I have seen so many of them around and they are about 30 in one patch - really lovely.

do have already some stargazers. but looked this June and said I needed more.

Sometimes when I look at all the varieties of snowdrops,

thought there were only 5 varieties of them. I keep forgetting to get the yellow type . but I do have three type.

Starglazer lilies are very easy to propagate. If you like that kind of fun, have a look at this video

It's very easy and pain free!

@alp , thanks. But I get them for a good price, so compared to the value of my time to fussing with propagating its better to buy. Now this year I am fussing with raising lots of blue poppies from seed and they are too expensive by plant.

@Esther Knapicius I actually bought meconopsis seedlings and I am so pleased with them. At the same time, some of my seeds have also survived, so now I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hopefully, I have some to upload here .. I have bought so many meconopsis seeds that it's unreal.

Got a 4ft tall cherry tree/plant for 75Rs.(0.88 £). Very happy

 

[Upsy Daisy]

Wow!!!! now that's what I call a real bargain buy @Vishu1708 ......well done you

 

[alp]

Yes, that's a bargain. Now you're stealing, Vishu! LOL! Who said that to me before.. eh, Vishu?

Today, I also "stol"e something. A chrysan for 50. It was dry as bone and missing a pot.

This small one cost me £1

This big one cost me 50p

I felt so bad that I bought this tub for £3.50! LOL!

These might not sound like bargains, but I paid £3.33 for one gladiator bulb in Hyde Hall Flower show. Also I like the big white allium which will be 18cm in size, just like the Gladiator.

Also I love the tulip which is a frilly yellow ones. Although Home Bargains have cheaper stocks, they sell the same thing day in day out. So I am so pleased that I actually got these for £6 i.e. 2 for £3.

When @Perki said that he got his bargains from Lidl, I thought he was joking. Thank you, @Perki for giving me a pointer. A stroll into Lidl made me a very happy customer! I wish I could buy more. But I must not go crazy as there will be toooooo many pots.

Hope someone will plant them for me.. Ah,, initiation to gardening for my son...

 

[Upsy Daisy]

Gosh!! you've done very well too @alp . Is that bottom Allium one of those really big ones? I saw some at Mottisfont... they were huge!!! I have managed to get some seeds , ( don't ask) but I think it takes quite a while to reach the flowering stage!!
