To my surprise there are fat green bulb-tips -- at least three of them -- emerging in the wildflower trough alongside the garlic. So evidently the tulips are actually coming up, having survived the winter; we shall see if they do any better than the narcissi, which were last seen in March 2024 at the end of a steady decline, and never did flower at all.
To my surprise, the mystery bulb also appears to be showing a tiny shoot, though I had more or less assumed that had rotted away.... The grape hyacinths are currently fine, having at one point last year been very overcrowded, at which point either a lot of them died off or else I thinned them out manually -- I forget which :-p
Whoever composed the translation exercise for Lesson 6 of the Penguin Russian Course evidently had a sense of humour, or was busy channelling my mental reactions ;-p ( I don't know how to learn words )
