Best indoor bulb display. Get your cameras out and take a pic of whatever indoor bulbs you have brightening your home at the moment. Amaryllis, hyacinth, daffodils, whatever it may be, then post it on this thread by Wednesday the 23rd. Winner to be announced on the Saturday 28th Looking forward to seeing some entries, otherwise I shall be forced to enter with my pitiful effort ;D

We are now looking for outdoor displays too, snowdrops, crocus etc. Also, if any picture already in existence on this forum, can be entered or nominated, providing it is taken, by a member and is of their garden. You've got till the 28th. ;D
