Fall Bulbs

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today I got the following bulbs from Costco:

4 Iris (2 each of purple-and-white 'Speeding Again' and white 'Immortality')

4 Iris (2 each of lavender 'Feed Back' and pink-and-lavender 'Florentine Silk')

4 Iris (2 each of burgundy 'War Chief' and yellow 'Harvest of Memories')

15 Leucojum (aka summer snowflake) 'Gravetye Giant'
These look similar to snowdrops, with white pendant flowers, but a little more bell-shaped with tiny green dots on the bottom edge. This cultivar is supposed to reach 2' tall.

50 Narcissus 'Dutch Master'
These are a type of plain yellow daffodil that should naturalize well.

64 Crocus (34 purple 'Flower Record' and 30 purple-and-white 'King of Stripes'

Oooof, it's really time, isn't it? Those all sound delightful. P.

Yes ...

Fall bulb planting runs from August through November, depending on what zone you're actually in. September-October is my preferred season. I'll grab things locally in August if I see them -- which I did this year -- and sometimes the late sales run into November. No telling when the stuff I ordered from Breck's will arrive.

Thanks. I'm really looking forward to planting them.
