Armed with a list based on bulbs I had read about and those I knew I wanted, I started at Roxbury Mills (buying locally, you see). There I found
- Queen of the Night tulips - side front garden
Allium Purple Sensation - sunny garden
Black parrot tulips - pot on steps
Fritillaria meleagris - walkway garden
Scilla siberica - oak tree garden or walkway
Maureen tulip - white, under the oak tree
Then just a few other things crept into the bag:
- Allium azureum - sunny garden
Amaryllis 'Golden Goddess' - have never tried a yellow amaryllis before
Still on the list, to buy online:
tulip 'Fringed Rhapsody' - WFF
Lycoris squamigera - WFF - to plant near the Rudbeckia
Ipheion (Constellation of Blue Stars from WFF)- walkway
Allium Mongolian Gem - Klehm's - blooms late summer
Allium triqueteum - McClure & Zimmerman - oak tree garden
Mixed lily-flowered tulips - M&Z - front garden
Modern Rembrandt tulip mix - M&Z - front garden
'Temple of Beauty' tulip - M&Z - apricot, to interplant with Queen of the Night
Not bulbs, but also on the list
- Helleborus 'Royal Heritage' - for walkway or for under the trellis
Hakonechloa 'All Gold' - walkway
Moody Blues hosta collection - WFF - other side of walkway, includes 'Hadspen Blue,' 'Krossa Regal' and 'Elegans,' might just find these individually
and then the lilies...I may have waited too long, but in case I can still get them, the list is:
- Perfumed garden oriental lilies - WFF - never mind, sold out, but look how beautiful they would have been if I had planned ahead:
Lilium Martagon - Klehm's - white garden
Lilium 'Black Dragon' - M&Z - sungarden
Asiatic Lily 'Unique' - can't find this anywhere, rec. by Dianne Benson
Aurelian Lily 'Amethyst Temple' - ditto
oriental lilies 'Imperial Gold,' 'Early Beauty,' 'Geisha' and 'Journey's End'
"You must try...the most marvelous white, pink and red flowers of them all...acquiesce to these wonders"I can't resist.
