Bulb Backlog.

last week i finally finished planting my bulbs. definitely late, but the majority of them were still in very good condition so i hope some will grow. here's what i've done:

• "petrel" narcissus (i planted the first 25 in december)
  • (6) between the iris clumps off the corner of the deck (two groups of three)
    
  • (5) under the sunroom window between iris and pineapple sage, towards back of the bed
    
  • (5) between the nandina, under the master bedroom window
    
  • (5) in the driveway bed between liriope clumps north of the rose
    
  • (5) in the driveway bed by the gate
  
  
• "Johann Strauss" tulips
  • (10) in front of the iris clumps off the corner of the deck (two groups of five)
    
  • (5) under the sunroom window in front of the narcissus "petrels"
    
  • (5) with the petrels in the driveway bed between liriope clumps
    
  • (5) in the driveway bed on the south side of the rose
  
  
• tulipa turkestanica (17 were planted in december) -- (6) along the walkway near the porch, side closest to the house

• t. tarda
  • (15) in a semicircle around the rose in the driveway bed (three groups of five)
    
  • (11) along the front walk*
  
  
• t. batalinii "bright gem" (13 were planted in december)
  • (6) between the t. tarda around the rose (two groups of three?)
    
  • (6) along the front walk*
  
  
• t. kolpakowskiana (13 were planted in december) -- (10) along the front walk*

* this is an approximate representation of the tulip layout along the front walk -- definitely not to scale. the tulips are planted in with the existing liriope.
