Bulb collection destroyed

Hi Gianni-
Sorry for your loss of prized plants. Did you determine how the mice
entered the greenhouse?
We have pea gravel around the perimeter of ours. Supposedly, the mice
cannot gain traction when trying to dig.
Best regards, Lisa

My extensive collection of South African Gladiolus and Freesia was
destroyed in a few days by mice ! The pots were in the greenhouse, but the
mice got in, sheared the plants and tore the bulbs apart: a disaster ! I
owned at least fifteen species laboriously collected over the years, some
still young, some about to bloom. It is amazing how the work of many years
can be destroyed in a few hours.
I appeal to Gladiolus and Freesia collectors to be able to recover at least
part of my collection. Those who are willing to give me bulbs (even buying)
starting next late spring please contact me privately. Thank you.
