Carol - thanks for the reminder that crocuses do not necessarily come back every year in California. I guess I won't be planting them here. I also tend to only plant things that come back year after year. I am too lazy of a gardener to plant new bulbs every year. So, I will just have to look at everyone else's photos.
Corey - a few of my tulips come back for a few years. But, they always croak at some point. So, no more tulips for me too.
Irises come back fairly regularly. Guess I may be cheating since rhizomes are not technically bulbs? This particular variety starts blooming in November and continues now. Most of the bearded irises I have are spring bloomers so this early bloomer is extra special to me.
