Photo of Spring Bulbs Pictures & Discussion:  Part IV

OK, now I can't resist posting a photo of the lavender hedge in bloom last year.

I know it's an off topic photo since I can't see a single blooming bulb in it! But this front landscape bed does have a lot of bulbs in it... several colors of grape hyacinth (you can see the foliage along the front border behind the rocks), tiger lilies (foliage meandering up the center of the bed, the iris reticulata are around an azalea at the top corner, tall bearded iris (I know these are rhizomes not really bulbs) just behind the grape hyacinths, I think there are some alliums in there somewhere, 'Geranium' daffs in clumps around the pear tree, some other daffs planted along behind the lavender, fall saffron crocus and spring species tulips along the front walk (in front of the dianthus you see that's gone to seed in the photo), red tulips at the bottom of the bed just below the edge of the photo, other tulips in the opposite top corner....

I guess the lavender blooms fill a "gap" between blooming bulb times!
