Hi, bulb enthusiasts--thanks for giving me words of confidence and your observations about your garden bulbs. Gives me some measure of hope about mine, although at this point I am convinced I have lost half the crop from heavy rains and maybe animal problems...

I did check yesterday (in the rain), Janie, and found some of my miniatures in bloom, although only 4-5 inches tall so I have posted a little pic for you to analyze(!). No sign of my Actea or Yellow Cheerfulness and only half of the original crop planted by the previous owner are showing any green.

No cannas, and no hostas, yet, Maria, and only two of my crocus bothered to come up.

And Gemini, your report is encouraging to me, especially if yours are supposed to be early bloomers (what did you plant?)--and you're farther south, but are you up in the elevations? And, BTW, welcome to DG and thanks for posting. Hope you love it here as much as I do!

And, drop, Columbus does seem to be a week or so slower than Cincy---I go up often to visit my Sis who lives in the Upper Arlington area...there are so many pretty yards and gardens along the river(?) road out your way from her house.

Thanks again for your opinions. Please post a pic or two when you have some yellow bursting forth! :-) t.
