NLaw, I have similar projects as yours. I had a big disappointment last year when, after planting 600+ supposedly blooming grade daffs from Van Engelen, less than 10% bloomed. Were they immature, was my soil improperly prepared? This year I shall find out. I have a lot of greens returning so I'm hopeful.

As to other bulb projects, my other minor disappointment has been that even though I took great care in selecting varities suited for the south and furthermore, varieties that bloomed at the same time, (one area was all early, another mid, etc.) blooming times have not been consistent so there will be an area w/ pretty blooms and right next to it a big bare patch. I wanted it to look like in the pictures of those great, wonderful bulb gardens where ALL is blooming at the same time! lol

maybe with time.... I'm certainly hopeful for you and for me.

Here is a 50 bulb patch of tazetta daff Inbal presently in bloom (mostly)
