Bulbs
Our bulbs have mostly been on hold with the blustery weather. The snowdrops bloomed, of course, then some little early crocuses which were yellow in the catalogue but orange here - I like the orange better. Then some of them flopped over during our last snowfall, and wait for warmer days, and nothing else has bloomed.
On the other hand, everything, more or less, has come up and is waiting, green, ready and expectant. I think that at some point soon there should be a spectacular display as the behind-schedule bulbs and on-schedule bulbs all go off together.
Most of these are in the front:
- 6 Allium SCHUBERTII
- 25 Allium PURPLE SENSATION
- 1 Allium GLOBEMASTER
- 3 Allium MOUNT EVEREST
- 25 Allium moly JEANNINE
- 20 Allium AZUREUM
- 20 Camassia QUAMASH
- 50 Chionodoxa SARDENSIS
- 1 Chionoscilla X ALLENII
- 50 Crocus ANCYRENSIS
- 25 Crocus ANCYRENSIS
- 25 Crocus vernus JOAN OF ARC
- 20 Eranthis HYEMALIS (Some of these were planted in the back, and are coming up. They seem happy with low-light conditions, something to file away.)
- 1 Fritillaria imperialis LUTEA MAXIMA
- 25 Galanthus ELWESII
- 1 (ie. 50 bulbs) Galanthus NATURALIZING COLLECTION
- 6 Lilium species Lilium PUMILUM
- 10 Narcissus RIP VAN WINKLE
- 10 Narcissus MINNOW
- 25 Scilla BIFOLIA
- 25 Scilla SIBERICA
- 25 Tulipa URUMIENSIS
On top of that, there was half a shopping bag of pheasant's eye narcissus from Jville.
