This, folks is where I'd like to start a topic of bulbs. I will attempt not to get to carried away, as bulbs are one of my favorite things.

What are your favorites? Which ones did the Deer eat? Which get stolen by passersby without fail every year? Which ones are your favorite or do best for you? Which did you order? Notice any themes developing in your tastes for them? Any you hate? What is on your mind as you wait in line at Denver Botanical's fall bulb sale?
Any dreams for your bulb future? Combinations you'd like to see in your garden?
