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!
I love your choices…have fun. We are buried under 2 ft of snow so no gardening here.
Thanks Donna. I’m excited about the bulbs. I heard the snowstorm was pretty heavy. Stay cozy.
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.
Thanks Pauline. I haven’t tended my garden well the past couple years so hope these bulbs keep me excited. Happy planting to you.
It’s fun buying bulbs and planning the spring garden. The white anemone is very pretty and unusual.
Yes, this is the time for dreaming of spring garden. I’ve grown A. ‘The Bride’ before but this white one will be an experiment.
This is how we gardeners survive the winter…planning for spring.
And those garden catalogs make all things seem so easy.
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.
Kris, hope I’ll be able to share brilliant blooms with you in spring. The tulips never do well for me though so keep fingers crossed.
I see a lot of digging in your future. I am looking forward to seeing them in the spring.
Digging is the rude awakening when I’ll wonder what was I thinking!
It’s going to be a beautiful spring at your house. 🙂
Thanks Judy. Hope most of these will perform as advertised. I overdid the quantities as there is no place really ready to plant the bulbs.
Looking good for spring!
Thanks Eliza. I’m excited at the thought of these bulbs.
That will help with digging them all in. 😉
80 Alliums – wow! They will be fabulous. Love you other choices too. Love Negrita, I bought a double Negrita this year, looking forward to seeing it flower.
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!
I hope so.
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.
Nice selection. I keep meaning to order some blue Anemone. I have Grape Hyacinth but they don’t spread as I would like probably because I keep disturbing them.
