After the great freeze

He’llo,

We have not seen this here since 1985: During the months of December and January the weather was warm and sunny. Narcissis, Iris, Crocus Cyclamen kniphofia etc were in full flower.  Suddenly temperatures went down to -7° re enforced  with a violent northern wind (le Mistral) without a protecting snow cover, many leaves were scorced, (not to speak of the flowers).

 But we remain optimistique, next week the frost willl be gone, many leaves will  retake their forms, others will dry up.  But soon new growth will appear and and new flowerbuds will  appear to give massif flowering in March  to catch up for time lost.

Of course  shipping has been halted and will pick up again towards the end of next week (16-17/02)

 Our second edition of  "Guide pour bulbes méditerranéens" is with the  printer and should be available inext March

 

But for the time being  keep warm
