Bulbs: What bulbs did you plant last fall? , 2 by DonnaMack

Neal, just went back and looked at your mention of ornigothalem nutans.

I ordered camassia quamash from Brent and Becky and got some bulbs that looked odd, planted them and... wow!

Stunning. In the first picture, somehow an anemone robustissima appeared on the north side of my yard against the garage. That's the leaves of thalictrum rochebrunianum. The thalictrum was the only thing I planned!

In pic 3 you can see that it is a very assertive bulb!

So I moved some over to my lilium Anastasia bed, where it did beautifully.

Thank you B&B!

And Neal, yes candidum requires alkaline soil and a two inch planting depth. It looks awful when the foliage overwinter but then they appear - Poof! - in the spring.
