Oooooh! Thank you! After spending all afternoon planting bulbs on a cold and dreary day, thanks for the reminder of why I'm doing it!

What is the name of your daffodil? I just planted some that are supposed to be pink and white, I hope they will be as pretty as yours.

Your pics just took my breath away.

I hope my bulbs do so well. I just can't wait!

I wish we could grow tulips. I have a few that have been in the fridge for about 5 weeks now. I am going to leave them at least until Christmas, maybe through to the first of the year. I am going to try, anyway.

Thanks, Linnea56 and Little_dani

As for the pink dafs Linnea56 - I'm sorry but I have no idea. I bought them as a package - 5 bulbs each of 5 pink varieties off the back of a catalog - Maybe Dutch Gardens or Van Bourgondien some years ago.

They multiplied well, I counted 20 blooms in that 1 clump, but you need to plant them close to your viewing point - to enjoy the delicate color. From a distance they look plain white.

Great pictures.
I like fr. meleagris the best.
I hope you don't mind if I add some.

EGO45, the more pixs the better this time of year :-)

I've tried the camassia quamash, but they were the variegated variety and the blue was wishy-washy. Might try some others - yours look very nice.

Can the fr. michailovskyi take some damp like meleagris?

Leslie and other, I have to apologize for mislabeling my first picture.
It's a fritillaria assiriaca, NOT a f.michailovskyi.
However, second name, 'uva-vulpis' is correct.
Though they might be not as showy [to someone's taste] as f. meleagris or michailovskyi, they are definitely a spring treat, especially if planted in large clumps.
They will naturalize/multiply by seeds and divisions at faster rate if planted in full sun, but will bloom equally well in part shade.
The only thing they would be COMPLETELY intolerant is wet/damp/excessivly watered location. After all they are native to Turkey and Iran.

EGO45, nice Rubrum lilies! Do they tolerate part shade? I just ordered some from the Van Engelen sale and ran out of sunny spots to put them in.

Linnea, speciosum will tolerate part shade quite well, though they might not reproduce as freely as they do in full sun.
As you can see those Rubrums were planted in between and among shade-loving plants (rhododendrons, azaleas, clethras) and doing well. In such location(s) they probably will be taller than in a full sun and will lean toward the sun.
Here are speciosum 'Album' that were planted in even more shady location than 'Rubrums'. They were about 5'+ and bloomed about 2 weeks later than 'Rubrums' toward the end of August- September. In my particular case staking wasn't necessary as they used rhodies as a natural support.
