I used to be fairly ambivalent about spring-blooming bulbs; I couldn't see myself as having the desire to dig tulips mid-summer for a couple of short months of storage (where to put them ?), and then have to replant them. For the last couple of years, I've noticed that some tulips, in certain areas of the gardens, don't seem to require this treatment, so I've added a lot more of them in drier (summertime) areas since then. This year will be the first to find out if some of those tulips left in the ground year-round return.
