The second year we were here, I dug up 1879 daffodil bulbs and sold them, gave them away, threw them in a hole the dogs dug. That only left me with about 4092. In the 19 years since then, I've moved, given away, bought some more, thinned, re-thinned. there were a lot of daffs here! Not so much on the tulips, but I have remedied that and some of them have survived our heavy clay into the double digit years. There are crocus, fall crocus, muscari (or as my youngest daughter called them when she was little, blue tree flowers). There were some hyacinths, but I gave them away - I am extremely allergic to them. I have fritillaria meleagris, snow drops, snow flakes (leucojum), saffron crocus (although they didn't bloom this year, or else I missed, which happens sometimes), and some stembergia that occasionally bloom, but not often. Hmmm, I guess you could say I am definitely in the yes column.
