kbaumle--that's quite an impressive bulbaceous list!

I want to know what kind of knipophia you ordered and what you're going to do with them? They are introducing so many new cultivars in Europe and the UK. I'm fascinated by them but didn't order any and now I regret it. I think I could have put them with the Eremurus, though. same culture requirements...(a psychologist would have a field day with that garden plan though. LOL now that I think about it.)

boojum--I have A. thunbergii--planted last year--I see green leaves but no bloom now, but I think they are not in a good spot. Also you went big into some new kinds of hippeastrum...(I assume the 'Emerald' is a new green hybrid, will have to look it up.) I have my 40 from last year 'sleeping' in garage now. I hope and pray that they come back.

McGlory--your spring garden will be a riot of color with that many red and yellow tulips coming up...do you plant anything along with them? Do they bloom in succession?

carrie--we should start an heirloom bulb thread. There are so many beautiful daffs listed by OHG. I love them. Scheepers has a list of heirloom bulbs on their site, too, but, of course, it's not as extensive as OHG's. (And they don't thank you every time you put something in the cart!) LOL

A collage of my amaryllis pots from last year. I look at this to remember how overwhelmed I got with my 2004 bulb orders!
