I used to plant tulips in containers and keep them in the garage until early spring but have got too lazy the last couple of years, though there are still a few that pop up in the flower beds every spring.

Wellington is very hilly and the gardens extend over quite a large area of hillsides, and glow worms too. Weliington Botanical Gardens Map There are glow worms in the Garden which are readily accessible for all to visit and enjoy. It was from specimens found in the Garden that the species was formally described. Posted Image There is no need to go many miles to the likes of the Waitomo Caves when there is a great display at your back door. Glow worms are widely distributed in this country, and can be found on damp sheltered banks, caves etc. in many places in New Zealand. https://youtu.be/MfAHt_LC4VA ...

I forgot that I had some in the fridge from before we went to Canada and only planted them when we came home ... they had a long cold winter!

You just reminded me that I put some bulbs in the back of the fridge this spring. Will have to dig them out to plant somewhere.
