Costco has their spring bulbs in stock and on sale for $3 off a bag this week, which makes them about $12 a bag. I couldn't resist so I bought,

Oriental lilies:

Angelique and Rodolfa (7 each type combined in one bag)

Zagora and Red Dutch (6 each type)

Muscadet and Kissproof (9 each type)

Casablanco and Creation (7 each type)

LA Hybrid mixed colors (20 per bag)

The bulbs were listed as 16/18 cm size.

A bag of 7 echinacea purpurea and a bag of 60 Liatris spicata also followed me home!

Now that I have them all home I am wondering how soon I can plant them! I am being optimistic since we still have some snow! Supposed to be warm here in Calgary this week though. Is April too soon to plant them, as soon as I can work the ground or does is have to be closer to the magic May long weekend? I noticed that some of the bulbs are starting to sprout a bit (white not green sprouts on the LA Hybrid bulbs - I didn't open the rest. Should I store the bulbs in my spare fridge or are they ok in a finished basement?

If anyone is interested there are lots of other types of bulbs/plants at Costco too. I saw glads, dahlia, calla lilies, astilbes, one type of hosta, and a couple other plants I can't remember which ones though.
