When should my 'Bishop of Llandaff' show himself? I didn't lift and store him for the winter - I hope he hasn't died.  |

None of mine are showing yet either The witch. It's still quite cold at night though so don't despair yet.......

Nope - I didn't give him a blanket, poor chap, I hope he didn't get too cold! How deep did you plants them? I have since, last weekend I think, given them a feed and a further mulch. Don't give up yet, though! |

I had a quick broggle and can't find any sign of my Dahlias.... still the ones in pots in the GH aren't showing either, so maybe it'll be alright..(she said hopefully)  |

None of my Dahlias are showing at all - the ones in the ground or the ones in the GH in pots......dunno what's gone wrong...I planted a couple of new ones in pots a while ago too.....sigh. Are yours about yet, The witch? Just noticed some of the unnamed pots (dear Max being 'helpful') have some shoots just breaking the surface. I couldn't possibly guess what they are since I can't exactly remember what I put in now : but they might be Dahlias......only time will tell....... ...acshully just remembered that I planted some Chocolate cosmos in a pot so I wonder if that's them, and not the Dahlias still...... |

There's no sign of mine but I haven't quite given up hope - my Pineapple Lily is only just showing itself so I shall wait a bit longer - I think they've all died though...... |

His Grace hasn't shown here yet, either .... but was also very late last year (in fact, I thought he was dead and dug the poor cleric up, then swiftly replanted when I saw the shoots) - I wouldn't worry for a while yet ... cheers ...

I've done that in my time too, maybe not a dahlia, but other plants!  See don't give up yet, 4P. |

Mmmmh - well, mine is definitely alive but not very happy - stalks a couple of inches high but no leaves - nothing like as healthy as Madonplants' a couple of weeks ago ... I've been feeding and watering like crazy, hopefully haven't overdone it ... cheers ... |

My Bishop is doing really well now I'm pleased to say, full of flower buds too. ;D Glad to hear. Mine is on it's second, maybe third flush of flowers already. |
