Specialty Gardening: Bulb in containers, 0 by ladyrowan

Sugar, there are lots of bulbs on the market, and most of them do very well in containers. Most of my garden is made up of bulbs, due to gophers and deer.

Some of the spring bulbs I have planted in my yard: Daffodills, Crocus (which are GREAT when you naturalize them in your lawn), Hyacinth, Tulips, Snowdrops, Fresia, Bearded Iris, Calla Lillies (Keep them watered), allium, etc, etc.

As for summer flowers, I have a few Gladiolus, Acidanthera (another kind of glad, which looks like an orchid), Iris and cannas. I also have some lillies, but the deer tend to bite the buds off before they bloom, so I rarely get to see them flower.

The image I'm including is one corner of my back deck, before my flowers really started to come up, in late February.
