As I was strolling through my garden, what did I see?
Several of my fall-planted bulbs looking at me! Check it out - the bulbs I dropped in the ground this fall are poking up through the earth:

Oooh, I haven't heard of a few of these bulbs. I can't wait to see what they look like when they finally start blooming!
I have never heard of hoop petticoats. Must look them up. Have you used gravel as a mulch?
Lori,
I will be sure to take photos when they bloom. I hope they all bloom anyway - sometimes when I put in new bulbs, it takes a couple years to get flowers.
Lancashire rose,
Hoop petticoats are itty-bitty narcissus native to the Mediterranian. They are supposed to naturalize well in the South, so I am giving them a go. I hope mine bloom this year.
And yes, I use gravel as a mulch all over the place. I tried wood mulch when I first moved in, but quickly found that the rain washed it right away in most spots, so I switched to gravel and now it stays put! Plus, I noticed the armadillos tend to leave the gravel mulched areas alone. I guess it is to rough on their soft little noses!
