Leawood....great muscari border! I've admired the displays the Dutch growers do but yours is the first home garden I've seen with so many. Did you plant them all at once or has that been a work in progress?

Donna....Wanted to and almost did put in anemone blanda but I think here too it would be fighting the grass. So far the best plants for a display after the crocus and before the lawn gets too high have been
puschkinia and chionodoxa. The plan now is to fill the lawn with as many chionodoxa bulbs as I can afford this fall. That should give three displays--snow crocus (late Feb to second week of April), crocus vernus (mid March to mid April) and the chionodoxa (early to late April).

Difficult to take a picture of the front lawn in which the flowers show up but below is one I'm using to know (I hope) where to put and not put more bulbs this fall. Everything is much more visible in real life....
