It Doesn’t Rain For Nothing

Today I’ll be ordering bulbs to plant this fall. I’m ordering from Breck’s catalog. I got a coupon for $25 off my purchase, and it expires today. I’d like to order every flower they sell, but that’d be crazy. So, after much thought, and trying to stay in a budget (though not entirely successfully) here’s what I’ll be planting next month.
To bloom in the very early spring, we have some lovely snow crocuses and snow glories.

Then we’ll have these super beautiful Ice Stick Tulips.

After them, it’ll be time for the daffodils to bloom. I went with some Las Vegas and Pink Charm daffodils.

In Mid Spring, the mixture of hyacinths will bloom, but I’ll be featuring those beautiful Muscari Dark Eye hyacinths.

And then for more tulips. I chose a mixture called the Passion Tulip Mixture. And I also went with those really cool Ballade tulips, and in honor of my mother, Shirley tulips.

We’ll end the season with a beautiful mixture of cool irises and these unique Rudy Triteleia.

Wont that be beautiful?! I’m very excited.
It’ll be a lot of work to plant them, though. The ‘dirt’ in our front yard is very rocky and clay like and not at all soil. I’ll have to dig it all out and put in good soil for my happy bulbs to live in through the winter. Ah, the manual labor I’ll sustain for pretty purple flowers…
