Unfortunately, the bulbs were well past their best but I've planted some, in hope. There were 3 Crinum Powellii, which had all sent up shoots within the package but one of them had a new green shoot - so fingers crossed everyone.
If the bulbs were fresh it would have been a fantastic gift - lilies, gladioli, iris, acidanthera, anenomes, dahlias, peonies, asparagus, onions & garlic. Most of these are in the compost bin. A few are having a soak, just in case there's life and I bunged the firmer ones in a random spot. Not holding out much hope though.
Eyelash Lady also gave me a new, never been opened, RHS Encyclopedia of gardening. It weighs a ton!
Apparently her husband works for security and is always coming home with stuff that was being chucked out. I'm guessing that's how he came by the bulbs. Pity he didn't find them earlier!
