Freesias are Flowering

After a very poor start to the season with a severe drought , then incessant rain bringing about continual low light  my flowers are in full bloom and looking really beautiful.

I have a lot less bulbs this season as I really thinned the trays out at the start of the season and it seems to be paying off as there is less competition for nutrients etc  for each plant.

The season is very short this year as the low light meant  the first blooms didnt appear until the second week in September instead of the middle of August and now that the spring temperatures are getting warmer the freesias are flowering rather quickly.

The first few flowers had some boytritis but i got on top of that quickly and I dont see any sign of that any more.

I should have enough flowers to sell until the end of this month then I will shut off the water supply to encourage die down
