Bulb Fulla

Bulbarella's master plan is working splendidly. There are all kinds of different bulbs popping up all over the place.

In less than five years with what poses as divisions and left overs she has populated a whole new garden with bulbs.

Ku'ulei A'ina is practically bulb full. If the weathers cooperate it could be quite the show. Bulbarella will only have to walk next door to see another garden full of her handiwork.

I do have additional plans for the garden. It can't be totally bulb centric. That only covers a short period of the time of vegetation.

If a polar vortex kills some of your rated to zone 3 baby evergreen bone structure their first winter in the ground, plant them again earlier in the season. A better established root system might have saved them.

But I mean it when I say the garden is already bulb full. This may be the tulip Negrita, which is getting rave reviews from Client #1's garden by being a reliable repeat bloomer and good multiplier. It was planted with poisonous daffodil protectors. There should be more lurking out there. I haven't found them yet.

Every which where there are bulbs coming up. I only remember planting them when I see them.

It is spring number three for this pretty crocus. The clumps look to be multiplying.

The addition of the Witch Hazels last year means the late winter/early spring garden will never be just about the bulbs. There are a number of hellebore out there in the garden too. They don't take to kindly to this elevation. Every year there is some damage to the flowers. They keep growing and manage to set plenty seed though.

The other 'Diane' is still blooming.

'Arnold's Promise' will be a brilliant spectacle when he gets bigger.

Then there are the bulbs. More crocus mixed with a tulip of some sort, maybe a species tulip, planted in a circle around the fire pit in the Great Lawn. That means I can't mow it until the bulbs are done. Not that there is ever a hurry to do it. A lot of fun native plants come up in the lawn too.

Yippee! The bulbs are here and I've got a lot of them.
