Bloomed this morning.

The wind and rain last night blew many of my blooming daffodils into the dirt, so I cut them and made a nice arrangement. The center of the double daff looks orange, but it's very pink.

So in the middle of February I planted some pots of gladioli bulbs. They never thrived and looked healthy and I didn't get any blooms.

1. I think I planted the bulbs too early, even though some sites on the internet said mid Feb. was OK to plants bulbs for my area. The soil was not warm enough.
2. These plants get way too tall for pots (unless maybe you have a really large container). And perhaps they were too crowded.
3. I didn't have the best quality bulbs..they were small and came from a big box store.

So later on in the season I planted some bulbs in nooks and crannies...wherever I could find room. About half bloomed. Dappled sunlight seemed to work best. I had to stake most of them when they sent up bloomstalks.

And I didn't know bees liked them.

Beautiful!

Thanks, Jane. I still have several which have yet to bloom. Since the bags of bulbs I bought were mixtures of several varieties, I don't know what they will look like.

Lovely flowers, do like the doubles

My garden is filled with bulbs. Lots of different tulips (I'm Dutch, so that's no surprise), snowdrops, winter aconites, hyacinths, daffodils, alliums, muscari, anemones, crocus and scilla.
I'm growing dahlias from seeds. Pics will follow once they start to grow and blossom.

I can't wait to see your beautiful photos!

Will be planting these shortly. It's been a long time since I grew these and I forgot how pretty they are. Mine will bloom earlier than late summer.

The flowers are small, but there are multiple bloomstalks per bulb.

This is the first crocus to bloom. The plants are very tiny. They came from a bag of bulbs from Wal-Mart. I refrigerated them for 6 weeks before planting.

What will you do for next year, assuming there won’t be enough chill hours for crocus in your garden?

SpookyShoe · February 6, 2019

I treat crocus, hyacinth, most daffodils, and tulips as annuals.

These are blooming around the tiny pond in the backyard.
