I have always been fond of growing flowering plants from bulbs.This year I tried many varieties of bulbs that flourish in spring in our region .But unfortunately I guess weather remained too warm for the bulbs to grow naturally.Many of the bulbs did not survive the unpredictable climate .
Anemone bulbs are one of them which I somehow managed to successfully grow and brought them to flourish eventually.
This is the anemone bulb that has been soaked in water for 12 hours for rapid germination.After that for preparing potting soil for plantation of bulb:
Composition of Potting soil must involve around 60 % of River sand ,30 % of Garden soil ,10 % of compost with small amount of Fungicide powder to protect bulb from rotting .
After around two months with severely low growth buds starting to appear on the plant

I had planted two bulbs of the colors unknown which came out to be brightest blooms within three months from sowing bulbs.
Few tips to care to be taken :
They don't prefer overwatering alike every other bulb ,soil must be well drained to achieve desired results,with more of river sand in potting soil .
They can be grown in partial to full sun in winter period ,but protected from direct sunlight while blooming stage has reached.
Its spring time best season for flowers to flourish and also to sow seeds of summer annuals and vegetables . I had tried growing Morning glory annual vine through seeds with a unique method that Ill be sharing in my upcoming posts .
