Thanks Rita, the plants don't seem to care about our cold weather. Ice King and Tete a Tete are done blooming in some areas, while the other bulbs are now getting ready to bloom. I can't wait to see all of the newly planted tulips blooming.

I thought I was done adding bulbs but I see 3 areas that I need to add some daffs and tulips, so I've got to start thinking about what I want to add for the fall😁

Crocus tommasinianus 'Barr's Purple', a clump that has been there a few years



Thumb of 2014-03-19/gemini_sage/35d959 Thumb of 2014-03-19/gemini_sage/f37c92

These 'Barr's Purple' were planted last fall. Next year they will be thick and clumped.

Nice Neal. I just planted 100 of these last fall. They have not come up yet. Nice to know they will multiply.

Dianne, those are gorgeous! I love Dutch Iris, but they don't return well for me. From time to time a random one shows up where I had planted them a few years ago. Is this your first year with them?

C. sieberi 'Tricolor' in the lawn. These are such bright, happy things, I'd like to add a bunch more.

Tommie, 'Ruby Giant'. These were a tag along when moving another plant, just a couple of bulbs the first year I noticed them. They've become a sweet little clump.

Lovely crocuses Neal. I wish mine had the time to multiply? They get eaten so quickly by the critters here.

Here's my front bed with Hyacinth Woodstock, Narcissus Little Gem, and the giant crocus mix. I love Woodstock, the color is so vibrant.
