This may sound like a stupid question and it probably is but which way up should i have planted my Peacock Orchid bulbs?
I have planted them pointy end down with the (tufty bit?) pointing up (I hope i was right to do so)

Hmmm... if they're anything like tulip bulbs, the pointy end is where the stem/flower shoots from and the tufty end id the roots - 'might' be the wrong way up.

oh hell, looks like ill be digging them back out then. Cheers for the info!

Watching the telly the other morning and they had done a 'which way up is best' comparison on bulbs

And to be honest the 'upside down, narcissus and tulips were a bit behind but other wise utterly fine- the quote seemed to be, 'they cope'

So I wouldnt worry too much!
