Can never have too many pretty pots of flowers in early spring! Very nice.

I went back into my DG Garden Blog that I haven't visited in many months and found records of some of my past combinations that worked and even this article giving explicit bloom sequences: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1082/is_n5_v38/ai_159... for different classes of bulbs and lots of other combo details that may be of interest.

One little trick I used this year was to force or plant the bulbs one kind to a pot, then when they come into bloom I divide and transplant, say a blooming hyacinth with a few daffs in bloom, an amaryllis (for real drama), some little muscari and other LLBs (little blue bulbs) with whichever tulips are in bloom. I have been able to make some nice centerpieces this way...

Below are a couple of my first 'bulb combo' containers from a few years ago... (and sorry about the copyright stuff)...I can't seem to find pics of my best recent results...
