Bulbs, Blooms
Posted a few new pictures today of things currently in bloom.
Another shipment of garden plants arrived today, but they happen to be dormant. I decided to try some summer bulbs from Brent and Becky's Bulbs. Some are hardy, some not. The hardy ones I intend to plant directly in the ground, and the tender ones are going into pots. Except for some oriental Lilies, I've never grown any of these plants before. Today, I planted Bletilla striata and Zephyranthes candida directly in the ground. The Bletilla should be cold-hardy enough, but I'm hoping it will find the soil in the woods to its liking. I've been thinking of trying Zephyranthes for a while, and candida is said to be one of the hardiest. They went into the ground in front of the house next to some Plumbago.
