I got mine at the last place one would think to find quality plants, etc. At uh, hmm not supposed to name the stores right? Well, umm not the orange one, lol, the blue and grey colored hardware store! It had Lowe price tho ;)

9 bulbs, $3.89

I couldn't resist. Very happy with their growth. I find it so funny that. One is near 3 feet tall, yet the one a foot away is only around one foot tall! And that is the fullest flower! Diversity is a good thing tho. That area is very young in its garden phase so to speak, I'm just happy I had something to line the fence corner with. :)
I had 3 stages of growth so far though, daffodils then tulips the the allium. I do have some zinnia and cosmos in there still growing from seed, not ready to bloom yet so there will still be more color yet to come.

Here's one of the contrast light makes on them. Same flower, different time of day. The cloudy day really made the purple POP, and the sunshine added its own tint. Very cool :-)

*i am lazy with the weeding, I admit it, lol...
