I have a box of 1000 bulbs ready π€ one of my favourite garden jobsπ·
Did you know bulbs grow even if planted upside down as they have statocytes with statoliths that sense gravity (gravitropism) guiding shoots up & roots down, while light (phototropism) & stored energy help correct itπ·
Nice bit of the world π€
