January flowers on the balcony
‘The early bird catches the worm’
However, I wasn't early enough.
During the summer someone had emptied a pot of Tradescantia onto the earth below the trees in the backyard of the block of flats. However, just before Christmas I noticed that there were large fat juicy bulbs exposed in the mound of earth together with the Tradescantia.
Having decided that the Tradescantia would look good in the trough at the entrance to the block and the bulbs, which looked as if they might be daffodils, would enhance our balcony.
When I eventually went down to deal with this situation, I found the Tradescantia and all but one of the bulbs had already been saved.
This is the remaining bulb which turned out to be Narcissus tazetta. The other bulbs had not yet flowered
