I usually just have some daffodils in a container, and they have been good in blooming year after year, though I had to move them since the succulents where crowding them and the daffodil bulbs have multiplied too. So last fall I took a chance and also got some tulip, camassia and muscari bulbs. I was able to plant the muscari bulbs during the fall season, but I got a bit late with the daffodils, tulip and camassia, got around to putting them in their containers in January. I thought it will be a rainy winter, but it has been drier than usual. It is nice to see the bulbs starting to awaken now, especially after a much needed rain. Will update this thread as the growth continues....

Muscari waking up further, it did start to awaken a week after planting in late Fall, but slowed down as it got colder..now I forgot what I planted with it, I guess some of the tulips, I know I got lots of them so I was able to plant some ahead, and the others I delayed planting in January.
