Lori, thanks for the acorn! (and thank you to all who gave a thumbs up!).
You might want to try these tulips. I've read that this particular species, Tulipa clusiana, does well in the south and will even return, at least for a few years. There are several cultivars of this species besides Taco: Lady Jane, Cynthia, Tinka, etc. You might want to try a few and see how they do.
