Layered Bulbs Blooming Now!

Three bulbs bloom to create a riot of spring colors that complement eachother so nicely. See how they layered bulbs turned out...

Last fall I posted about Planting Bulbs in a layered technique that involved combining three different types of bulbs in one planting.

Now the warm weather is beginning again and the bulbs have grown into large, beautiful blooms that turned out even better than I could have hoped. Here are the pictures I've posted on my garden blog for the world to see. You can see how lovely the daffodils, tulips and grape hyacinths all looked blooming together!

Four days after those pictures were taken the daffodil blooms are beginning to fade so I'll be cutting the flower stalks down completely now. The tulips are in full force and two dozen additional buds have opened and are fully in bloom now so should hide the dying daffodil foliage nicely.

One of the benefits of layering bulbs with successive bloom times is that the next wave of colorful blooms takes over just as the previous wave of blooms is fading. Couldn't ask for a more lovely side yard for such little time investment!
