I bought 40 daffodil bulbs and 10 tulip bulbs. Following the directions, I refrigerated them til the recommended time for planting. I had 6, less than spectacular tulip blooms and a couple of daffodil blooms.

No tulips came up this spring and only the one daffodil came back.

Some things are just not meant to be.

Well, you've got spider lillies and cannas. My cannas died here, but I think it's just too hot and dry in San Antonio. LeftInTX Saturday #4
