Bulbs: Are your daffs and crocus starting to show green? (Part II), 1 by SteveIndy

Well Neal, I consider YOU the lucky one! It goes from cold/cool here to hot with not much in between. I planted four trees in my small back yard and another seeded itself near my fence and I'm leaving it alone to provide some shade for my yard. In July and August here you can just forget it for bulbs - so I'm envious of everyone else's stuff while mine is drying up! Oh, well I guess my Crape Myrtles and Hibiscus are out in full force in July and August but no lilies :-( Fortunately, March through May are nice months here.

Check out these yellow hyacinths from lat year - one of my favorite kinds. I agree about the hyacinths - I don't understand why they're not more popular - they smell great and come in the coolest colors, and perennialize much better for me than the tulips do.
