revclaus--yes, that pot of 'apricot beauty' tulips and 'gypsy queen' really worked out well...of course, there are narcissus 'salome' in there too and they didn't bother to come up...

but, my point here is, that that pot was planted with cheapy close-out sale bulbs from Lowes and other expensive bulbs from VanEngelen and 'Brent and Becky' didn't do as well...wouldn't ya know! But maybe they are yet to come up...I hope...

I did put more pics of my 'pot plants' over on the photo forum...

the 'weber's parrot' tulips there are from Brent and Becky...weird bloom, but 'nice' in the right pot, I guess.

I keep checking my lily pots (overplanted with muscari and anemone blandas, etc., too), but I don't see much going on there either...maybe it's too early...

jdee--here is a pic of part of my 'bulb farm' from last winter...and if you are interested in planting bulbs in pots there are a couple of good threads here on DG with the "how to's"...

Keep us posted of your progress...please post some pics as soon as you have something...thanks. t.
