Planted Spring 2009 Bulbs Yesterday

Yesterday I planted 291 bulbs pictured above, almost all of them that I bought from Krohn Conservatory. In picture order: 45 Mixed variety Tulip bulbs (Valentine Candy Mix) 45 Bellevalia (a unique variety of armenicum) 15 Fritillaria Meleagris - the only new species and I really hope it blooms. 45 Dwarf Iris - planted this by the lamppost this year 45 Chinonodoxa - planted next to coral bells 96 mix of ice follies daffodils (no picture)& burgandy lily tulip in perennial bed It was in the mid 70's and may be the last warm day until spring so I was lucky to get these planted. Especially lucky considering we have already had a couple freezes this fall and the ground was getting more difficult to dig.
