Good morning, Wren! We had two luscious days of rain and the flowers are shaking off their droplets and shining again! I also received the beginning of my spring bulb shipment this week, from Van Engelen and John Scheepers; really they are the same company, but Van Engelen sells in larger wholesale quantities.
So, I have some Twilight crocus bulbs, some Gypsy Queen and Sky Jacket hyacinths:
and some other blue bulbs, like Valeria Finnis muscari,
and English bluebells (which are endangered, because of cross hybridizing with Spanish bluebells; the bulbs sold as English bluebells are a close imposter I guess, since it's illegal to dig them up in the wild now).I must confess, spring flowering bulbs make spring my favorite time in the garden! But of course right now I am loving the mums, asters, zinnias and marigolds: so colorful! Next up: photos of my own gardens...

Hello Peg,
Many bulbs do not do well in the clay soils of Florida. We have our lilies though and of course the ground orchids. One thing we can agree upon is the wish that our gardens looked like the catalog pictures! I'm looking forward to watching your garden grow.
