Just when I thought I had planted the last of my bulbs, I found a few others that I decided I couldn't possibly live without. It began with an order to McClure and Zimmerman for 3 varieties of allium (schubertii, purple sensation, and atropupureum), 2 varieties of tulips (black parrot and the fringed blue heron), and 3 foxtail lilies (eremerus bungei). Then, I was reading about the art of potting bulbs, as well as forcing bulbs. Elizabeth at Gardening While Intoxicated has some great information on planting, potting, and forcing bulbs. She also makes it sound really easy, I might add. : ) So, as I was reading and learning, I thought "Hey, I can do that!" However, I would definitely need to order some more bulbs!! Another visit to McClure and Zimmerman and Old House Gardens, as well as one or two visits to The Lily Garden, and I have become crazed by the desire for more bulbs. Here are a few of the goodies I found:
'Schoonoord', early, double-white tulip
'Sulfur Queen' Hymenocallis
'Conca d' Or' Orienpet hybrid lily
'Elise' Aurelian hybrid lily
