Bulbs: Spring Bulbs - What's Blooming? II, 1 by SteveIndy

Taylor, you'd asked about the tulips - I dug up some photos from 2007, 2008 and 2009 of the same bed so you can see the tulip progression. I did not plant any new bulbs in this bed though I did end up expanding the bed to the side and to the rear with daffodils, etc, but the same peony and tulips are in all three pics. Excuse the ugly bed and the overplanting but I hurriedly stuck these in the ground first in fall 2006 as we didn't even move in until October '06 and there was absolutely nothing in the way of flowers at our new place and I wanted some color the following spring. The peony I pulled from my old house and just kind of stuck it in the ground for lack of another place to put it, as I don't always "visualize" well when I plant stuff and usually end up editing the whole thing the following spring.

On tulips and peonies returning in TX - here is March 07 - wish I had a later pic but all I could find - not unusual for flowers to come up early for me the first year - tulips are actually kind of short:
