This week the botanical tulips, Narcissus, Muscari, and Chionodoxa are blooming. All are quite tiny flowers from tiny bulbs and hopefully they will multiply next year. Pictured are
(1) Chionodoxa (pale blue)
(2) Tulip turkestanica (white)
and (3) Tulip pulchella "Eastern Star" (pink).
I tried narcissus last year and it never came up. This year it was planted in a full sun location and it did well, although with only 3 flowers!
