what bulbs ect did you plant this year??

Just wondering if anyone has planted new bulbs etc this year? anything exciting which you cant wait to come up??
Our garden had no bulbs atall not even a crocus, so i bought a few large sacks of all manor of things to start with some choice ones thrown in.
I cant wait because i must have put in at least 500 or more all over the place, i think i went to town as the last house we had i could not have bulbs as they rotted with the heavey soil, I now have bulb heaven!!

 

planted loads of tulips last saturday ....

client bought loads of ones I have never seen (a blackish one ... think it's called parrot ), multicolour ones etc

will be interesting to see what they look like next year ....

 

Things have moved on a lot since the first black Tulip "Queen of The Night"

 

Only Garlic

Although I do have one special Blub given to me by the Gardeners Corner ambassador for Italy that i've put in a pot No idea what its going to turn out like

 

Lots of Tulips , crocus's and Daffs - very boring , I know - but I do love Tulips

 

Hello everyone

I've popped in a few bulbs this year:

bluebells
snowdrops
alliums - big and small
fritillaria imperialis
onions
garlic

looking forward to spring/summer time
Mind you not sure they will all flower first year, but you never know. At least I do know I'll definitely get to eat the garlic and onions!

 

Tulips, daffs, crocus, iris, anemonies, so here's hoping for a pretty show!!

 

just seen a blueish tulip in my mums catalog, could'nt see it in shops, so will try that at some point, its called true blue, looks looovely.

 

A selection of daffodils,tulips and crocuses from the allotment shop.

 

The usual mix - daffs, tulips, crocus, snowdrops, stocked up with more alliums as there were only 2 purple sensations left this year, oh, and nectaroscordum bulcaricum - should be good! I'm looking forward to the display.

 

Aesculus & Dim

Tulips Black Parrot and Queen of the Night go well together.........


Black Parrot is one of the better Parrot Tulips.........


Anyway, what I do have new for next year is Muscari (never thought that would happen) Golden Fragrance, basically because it looks a little like a Lachenalia.

Also, Fritillarias imperialis and persica. Looking forward to these for two reasons - they're rather stunning, and my next door neighbour is a rozzer (which could be fun)!

Come the spring, I can pot my Bletilla and Pleione pseudobulbs, and start watering the dormant Hymenocallis and Scadoxus bulbs too.

 

Moved into new house end of July so waiting to see what comes up in the spring. Half an acre of largely untouched garden, have picked up a lot of info from this site already. Had to plant some bulbs & garden runs along side a main road so took my life in my hands & planted 25kg of daffs along the verge. Plan is to cheer passing motorists ( & me) in the spring!
