Hi all– Every year we have a full on crop of freesias that bloom under our back window. I can take no credit for those things. The family who lived in this house before us, planted them 20 years ago and they’ve been popping up every February since! They’re bright and fragrant and ever cheerful. So nice to have around the house.
If you’d like to harvest your own crop, plant the bulbs in the fall in warm places like California, and in the spring in places where it snows. Put them just 2″ into the ground with the pointy end up. When the blooming season is over let the leaves alone as long as they are green– They are feeding the bulbs for next year. When the leaves are browned and withered, pull them right off the bulb. And then you just have to wait for next year’s flowers to bloom!
I love them too! These are bright yellow! My favourite colour too!
I love them! and I love coming to your house and seeing them there. They say RHONDA, and HAPPY to me.
So beautiful! I love them in the creamery jar.

Thanks for the tips! I love the way they look and smell. So apricot-y and spring-like!
