Mystery bulbs and how sometimes I am not such a good gardener

 On one of my meanders down the garden, I noticed some bulbs which had obviously fallen out of a pot, lying on the top on a larger pot.  There was no name with them, so I am not sure whether they are snowdrops, grape hyacinths, crocuses, scillas, pushkinias, snake's head fritillaries or something else.  I felt really sorry for them as they were doing their best to grow with no soil.
 Then I saw these bulbs, half in a pot, again, doing their best to grow.  I really am not a very good gardener when I let this happen!  Still, giving myself a talking to, I replanted them on a very cold morning last weekend.
 Here are the little bulbs safely in a pot now...
...and the bigger ones, decently covered up.  I now have to wait and see what they are.  Note to self: keep an eye on pots of bulbs and try to remember to label them!
