This article includes inspiring photographs of some of my favorite bulbs: "Elspeth Thompson chooses the bulbs to plant now and enjoy later...For me there is something unfailingly cheering and hopeful about bulb-planting – it even helped me through the death of a muchloved dog one sad October. It can be tiring if large numbers are involved, so alternate the big naturalistic swaths with handfuls of delicate beauties in pots that can be brought inside when coming into bloom.."

Nice article! I always forget about the camassia and the drumstick alliums, but I love them both. Also the muscari. And here I thought I was done bulb shopping for the year! ~Angela :-)
Wonderful, all those lovely spring flowers so many of my favorites. I planted Woodstock in my greenhouse last autumn and they were sensational!
