I hear you Rita, but perhaps you could put in the kind of bulbs that are pretty, tough, start spreading after the first year, and have foliage that fades gracefully. And better yet, are planted quite shallowly. One of my favorites is chionodoxa, which comes in three slightly different blues, pink, and white. They are planted perhaps two inches down, seed readily, and look great. Here is chionodoxa alba. I plant the pink ones around my pink and white daffs. The idea was simultaneous bloom, but the chionodoxas bloom first - early April here. And they are not expensive.
