Steve, you've given a comprehensive tutoring guide on planting spring bulbs for our southern garden. I worked my bulbs bed similiarly as you did with yours, planted mine Tulips 6-8" deep. The keyword is drainage. Not many plants will tolerate wetfeet, and hardpan growing medium.

DonaM, great job with caring for your Tulips in your climate. Oh how I love your garden setting with the arbor in the background to show off your Tulips grouping. A nice touch!!!

Taylor, thanks for the tips on caring for Clivias, I've a pot of ground orchids, I just learnt that they're hardy in our zone, so after many years having hauling them in and out of the makeshift greenhouse, I'm going to plant them out directly into the well drainage area in the garden along with the Clivias.

Diahlianut, best of lucks with your property-hunting out West. I just returned from New Mexico and I love the beauty out there. Do drop me a line when you get settle. We may can do some gardening project together. lol.
