After a year, I finally got these bulbs in the mail. I was really busy though when they came last year and didn't have time to plant them. I had to store them, then it got cold and I couldn't put them out over winter. I got them in the ground in early April. I wonder if they will bloom this year? I'm sad thinking I will have to wait another year before I get blooms. I hope the squirrels don't dig them up before they get estabalished.
Overall I am just worried about them.

I just ordered 10 bulbs from Old House Gardens. I know it is a little early since they won't ship the bulbs till late spring, but every time I go to buy them they are sold out...so I am trying to get a head start by back ordering for next year. I hope they pick some good ones!
