Bulbs are so fuss--free. LOVE bulbs!!! That's all I've been planting lately. When they all come up and start blooming I'll take some pictures and share.

that is awesome Polly!!!

I guess Daffodills are so enchanting is because there hasnt been a bloom in Z6 since October the year before.
I planted many just to get a lift from winter depression. Now to wait another 4 weeks to see what comes up.

Thanks, Allison.

Plus, Jo and I heard that the daffodils deter voles from the lily bulbs, so that would be another great plus for daffodils. I planted quite a few in with my lilies this year. Hope it works.

I have seen vole trails to lilies but cant remember if those are the lilies that I planted daffs next to. July will tell if the lilies are going to bloom big and beautiful .

Polly, that photo is priceless.

Jo Ann, if you put up 1/2 the show, you did last year, we'd all still be happy

Thanks Anthony. Most of my daffs are white. I didnt have many until I put in 200 bulbs 2010.

a neighbor gave me some miniture daffs...this is the second year they have bloomed for me

too cute!!

Canaliculatus? maybe,..nomatterwhat, they look brilliant!!

Lovely

Ginger, I have some miniature daffs called "Baby Moon," which I never get to see any more as they bloom in AR while I am in FL. They bloom along with the wild violets.

I have Baby Moons.They were the first of the mini daffs I planted.
Sorry you dont get to see yours.

Every fall I plant hundreds of spring flowering bulbs.
Daffodils are mainly the "Dutch master" or "King Alfred" type.
The fancy varieties tend to be short lived here.
Crocus, tulips, muscari and dwarf iris also.
Hyacinths some years, but they do not always bloom for me.

I am going to add to my daffs again this fall and will look at your Dutchmasters and King Alfred. I planted these last fall


Febuary Gold


Minnow


Martinette


Bridal Crown



Sagitta


Suada
I like the single types.The doubles always flop



Bellsong

I do like 'Saggita'

I tend to like the light colors,creams with soft peach trumpets or whites with a bright edged trumpet.
I have some large cup Coolflame that were planted at the same time as Bellsong.

I have a few bulbs, but mostly don't bother with them. Tend to forget where they are and dig 'em up when putting in new plants. :biggrin:

Those of us who converse with Rita and heard the story are eagerly awaiting her photos from this Spring--she planted 4,999 bulbs last Fall and, added to what she had already, it should be a spectacular show.

Wow!! That's a LOT of bulbs! I can't wait to see it.
