Minor tender summer bulbs
Comments (8)Linnea, Freesias have bang for the buck. Buds along the stem open in sucession for a longer show (than daffs, tulips, etc) in early spring. Multiply easily and would likely store well. Pink with yellow throat are really nice. The golden yellows seem to multiple the fastest. I think ranunculus are drop dead gorgeous but they too are spring bloomers. I have not had success with out of the ground storage. Perhaps stored in fast draining soil, moistened every 2 months? Ixia are graceful with long arching narrow stems loaded with fat buds along the last 6+ inches. Late spring. Have never tried storing. Need to plant in same hole for great effect. Lovely. Babiana have rich jewel colors - over quickly and plentiful foliage is slow to ripen. Late spring. I only keep them because of the colors (in a vy large pot with chives). Sparaxis are easy. I think the purply ones are the prettiest. I tired of the red quickly. Trigridias have a larger flower than sparaxis; open to show the interesting mottled contrasting centers. Easy. Didn't combine well in my garden. I have had lousy luck with anemone blanda. De Caen anemones do great (bloomin now with the daffs) & very showy. Don't know about storage. Summer blooming semi-tropical bulbs/tubers are scant. I think you have the best with dahlias & tuberous begonias. A showly glad is Wine And Roses (I think) but it must be staked. The prettiest don't seem to be offered online. Watsonia needs to be in the ground for 2 or 3 years for a good show. Deep rooted - not a good subject for pots. Mature clumps 4+ feet tall. Devil to dig out established ones. Milk & Wine Crinum Lily - a want Scarborough Lily aka Vallota speciosa - love it. Sprekelia - very exotic looking. Mealy bugs get into mine. Homeria - seldom seen spring bloomer. Long wiry stem with canteloupe colored, tubular bell flowers - charming. My more flamboyant gardening friend saw mine & loved. Also in yellow if I remember correctly. Dutch iris - a spring must for me in medium lavender. Bletilla striata - love these. Finally found a spot where they're happy with morning sun only. Don't see foliage yet - maybe the huge weed crop obscures? Cyclamen florist type. Easy spring. Sorry so many are spring....See MoreDid Valley Grow Brugs in Defuniak Springs go Out of Business?

Comments (48)Here's an article that may be of interest - https://businessofhome.com/articles/traditional-home-returns-to-mailboxes First paragraph from the article linked above - A little over one year after pivoting to a newsstand-only bookazine model, Meredith Magazines has announced that starting with its fall issue, which debuts July 30, Traditional Home will once again be available for home delivery. Though the content has remained largely the same throughout changes in the magazine’s distribution, its business model has completely transformed. In a tumultuous print media landscape, the brand’s return to subscriptions demonstrates how Meredith has found an avenue to give beloved brands a second life—even in a challenging advertising environment. Later on in the article - Success looks much different for Meredith’s revamped high-end quarterlies. The company had been putting 360,000 issues of Traditional Home on newsstands to test its appeal; as the magazine shifts into its next phase, that number will stay roughly the same. Newsstand buyers will still see a $12.99 price on each issue; subscribers will get a full year for $20—a savings, but a far cry from the deep discounts of the previous model. I just subscribed for the 4/year issues for $20 here - https://www.magazine.store/traditional-home/?search=traditional+home&_requestid=187799 It also included access to the digital issue which was a surprise. It will renew at $20 per year unless you request it to stop....See Moregrammahony
