Does anyone know anything about gardening?

Just buds as yet.

the buds on my Amalanchier are whiteish - i think @edmundro could be right.

photo of said buds would help to confirm.

I think he is right. When it stops drizzling I will take more pics.

He is an arboroligical hero.

I am again reminded of how amazing phone cameras are.

My juneberry was in flower April 1st last year. Still nothing yet this year.

Matchy-matchy

They don't compensate for a shit photographer though.

That's a bit insulting.

It was meant to be.

Got anything constructive to say old man?

I've ten years of history on here which suggests not...

True dat.

..what phone (camera) is this shot with?

Pixel XL

Anyone got any idea about daffadil seeds. I bought a load from eBay and sprinkled them liberally in the garden, they were cheap but I haven't got even one flower.
Do they have to be planted from bulbs?
If so how do they reproduce in nature?
Ultimately the plan was to do some guerrilla planting on the grass verges across the road. But looks like it's already failed.

In nature the bulbs get smaller bulbs added to the main clump that's why if you divide every couple of years they flower more , that's what I love about nature it's always win win except if your a squirrel eating my sweet corn....

So what is the natural way of propagation without human intervention?
I heard about the bulb division, but then what is the purpose of the seeds?
I know we can.cultivate them indoors and then plant the bulbs but I was more interested in mass planting via seeds outdoors.
Not possible? Seems odd?

Monty had some cracking daffs on gardeners world a couple of weeks ago.

Patience, Grasshopper.

Suggests 3-5 years for seeds to blooms.

Anyone know what this lovely delicate purple flowered plant that's come up in my lawn this year is? A nice colourful addition (even though I've no idea how it got there).
All through the front lawn too.

That last one with the out of focus baackground is indeed really nice considering it's taken with a phone!

I think its a Vetch.

Hi WW perhaps Daffs are not best suited for the guerrilla gardener unless you dig in a few bulbs, I'm guessing that Daffs are not native to this country so began here via bulb rather than seed, hope this helps a bit
