The Bulbs are In!

After a full week of gorgeous fall days, I'm happy to report that the bulbs are planted.

 

Last year I was very good about taking note of exactly where I put everything.

This year--not so much.

I was just happy to get them in the ground.

 

Here's my assortment, ready to go.

 

The main placements I remember are:

* Multi-flowering hyacinths 'Festival Pink' just to the left of that daylily, above.

'Mariette' tulips to the other side of the bed to balance out the ones I planted last year.

Narcissus 'Avalanche' (white w/ yellow cup) on either side of the Oregon Grape, bottom terrace.

Narcissus fragrant mixture, behind English laurel, bottom terrace.

 

The back flowerbed got all 5 Hyacinthus orientalis 'Gypsy Queen,' as well as the 'Apricot Impression' tulips.

 

Scattered in all the beds:

species crocuses: 'Lilac Beauty' and 'Cream Beauty', Triandrus Narcissus 'Lemon Drops', Narcissus 'Baby Moon', and more of the fragrant narcissus mixture.

 

I had some tulips left over, so we planted them just behind the very top garden wall:

some 'Mariette' again, and some of The Princely Mixture (single early tulips; pink, lilac, and yellow.) 

 

All my bulbs this year were purchased from John Scheepers.

I have been very satisfied with their quality, selection, and prices. 

Hard at play.
