Especially being the first showy flowers of spring, they're the stars of the show till the late spring perennials start blooming. My favorite sources are Brent and Becky's and John Scheeper's/Van Engelen. In 2013 and 2014 I went hog wild and planted over 2000 new bulbs both years, but was more restrained this year. I rely on Brent and Becky's for their awesome selection of daffodils- yes, I'm daffy for daffs! On Friday my order arrived, consisting of: 5 Corydalis - solida 'George P. Baker' 10 Corydalis - solida 'Beth Evans' 50 Chionodoxa - sardensis 10 Narcissus - W. P. Milner 5 bulbs each of the rest: Narcissus 'Snow Baby' Narcissus - Elka Narcissus - Bahama Beach Narcissus - 'Winter Waltz' Narcissus - Prototype Narcissus - 'Sunlight Sensation' Narcissus - Stint Narcissus - Puppet Narcissus - Sherborne Narcissus - Obdam Narcissus - Manly Narcissus Hardy Lee Narcissus Art Design Narcissus - Saint Keverne Narcissus - Red Aria Narcissus - Princess Alexia Narcissus - Gigantic Star Narcissus Capree Elizabeth Narcissus Altun Ha Narcissus - Marieke Narcissus - Kiss Me Narcissus Grower's Pride Narcissus Kingham Narcissus - Primeur Narcissus - Pistachio Narcissus - Classic Garden Narcissus - British Gamble Narcissus - Bravoure The John Scheeper's order that arrived last week: 10 Narcissus Spellbinder 10 Narcissus Classic Garden 10 Narcissus Sentinel 10 Narcissus Jamestown 20 Tulip White Emperor 10 Tulip Big Chief 5087 20 Tulip Cream Jewel And the order I'm expecting to arrive today from Van Engelen: 50 Scilla mischtschenkoana 100 Anemone blanda Blue Shades 100 Scilla siberica Spring Beauty 100 Crocus chrysanthus Cream Beauty 100 Crocus tommasinianus Roseus I'd love to hear how you're using your bulbs in your garden design and combos you're planning. I'm determined not to add any new beds, so here are some pics from this spring of areas that these bulbs are being added to. Some beds will be expanded a bit, but the great thing about bulbs is they're easy to tuck more in here and there :-) |
