I planted fresia bulbs last year and waitied ... and waited ...
It was a bit of a let down as I had followed the planting instructions to the letter, but nought happened, so in the end I emptied the pot back out. I couldn't even find the bulbs so that was that. I reused the compost by mixing it with other bits and bobs and using it as top dressing on some of my permanent planters.
So guess what I have just spotted flowering under my olive tree. A single but very pretty fresia flower has appeared. It has been mixed about in a bucket of top dressing, thrown on top of a pot any old way up and left to it. Obviously prefers that to my careful planting the first time round
