This week my garden club (Fairfield Harbour Garden Club) organized an event - Carl Van Staalduienen of Terra Ceia Farms in Pantego demonstrated layering bulbs in a pot, and afterward he delivered our pre-ordered bulbs to us - we had arrived armed with our own pots, soil, rocks, etc. and we planted the pots in the parking lot - me on the tailgate of my truck.
Bottom Layer - 3 greigii tulips, 1 summer snowflake leucojum, 5 February gold daffodils
Middle Layer - 3 byzantannus gladiolus, 1 Dutch iris, 3 big white hyacinths
Top Layer - 10 muscari (grape hyacinth) and 3 dwarf iris
When I got home, I planted a layer of pansies on the top surface. I would take a photo but it just looks like a big flat pot with pansies on the top (not very imaginative on my part - he said you could put "winter annuals or edibles" on top).
So wish me luck - this was fun, and I hope it will be even more so if they bloom!

Bulb Layering in a Big Pot - a First for Me!
Sounds like it is going to be awesome. What size pot did you use?
It's at least 18 inches square, and 16 inches high. I bought a straight edge pot at Lowes (It's just a big square boxy thing), thinking that would give it more room.
