Bulbs - What Worked

The tulips! Loved the tulips. Should have put more bulbs in the pot. Replanted them to the left of the hebe. They were "Queen of the Night".

And the onions. Picked them late May by which time they were fat, delicious spring onions. They were "Senshyu Yellow". This October I am planting them in every available space. They were too good.

Alas...
* Hyacinths - fail. Barely made it above the soil. Did I plant them too far down?
* Crocus - fail. Got leaves but no flowers.
Snake's Head Fritillaria Meleagris - semi-fail. A couple came through but didn't look great.

In other news: the replanted daffs appeared but weren't anything of note. The replanted pansies didn't take. Neither did the propagated clematis, but I think I tried it at totally the wrong time of year.
