Bulb season is upon us! It's time to plant your tulips, daffs, and crocus for next spring. You can plant in specific colors or you can go the route that I take, a grab bag. I love bulb grab bags. The joy in this is it's kind of like a floral lottery. You toss these little onion looking things into the ground in the fall and up come beautiful flowers in the spring. But the kicker with the grab bag is that you don't really know what to expect. A lot of gardeners like to plant specific bulbs so their gardens can have one color, I am a mish-mosh gardener. I like to be surprised. OOOO, a red tulip! WOW, a blue crocus!! HEY, a yellow daffodil! You get the picture.
This year I planted a tulip grab bag, which had 20 different bulbs. I have no idea what colors I will have, and I am happier for it. I also planted small and large allium. I absolutely love allium, they are probably my favorite spring flower. They are so energetic. Lots of little star shaped flowers on a tall stem. Love it.

Go forth and plant bulbs. Your neighbors will thank you.
