Bulbs – “Oh, My!”

Just placed a bulb order with Longfield Gardens, on a whim. We have had so much rain lately it will be easy to see where not to plant them. The meditation circle was flooded for a day. And the ground is soggy.

Sunshine today makes all things seem possible, even the likelihood of getting these bulbs in the ground.

    Lovely choices. Anemones always do well for you. I haven’t seen that creamy white one before though. We have an icy wind today, and snow is forecast for Monday, so I am glad I have got all my bulbs in. 🙂

      Ice and snow? Wow, and wasn’t it just recently still fairly mild? I should have planned for bulbs earlier but here there is still time before the ground freezes. If only the spring blooms look like the pictures!

    What a lovely selection, your garden will be so pretty in the spring! I still have some of mine to plant, hopefully will get them planted this coming week in spite of the cold weather that is forecast.

    I look forward to seeing your new bulbs in bloom. Greedy as I am, I wish I could grow all the bulbs those of you in colder climates can. After all these years, I still suffer from a severe case of tulip envy.

      Your double Negrita sounds lovely. Your tulips are always so beautiful. I don’t have much luck with them and haven’t tried to grow them in years but maybe this will be a breakthrough year!

    Grape hyacinth! That is so rad! That is such a classic. It is nice that it is still available. I have seen many of the modern cultivars, but am not as impressed as I am with the traditional plain and simple.

      Love grape hyacinths and always have a few. Mine don’t naturalize well but probably because I’m digging them up when trying to plant other things.

        In my former garden, digging them up was how some of the spread. I sometimes needed to dig up a clump to move it, only to leave a few behind. They would develop into another clump that would also get dug and moved . . . . starting the process over again.
