Re: Question re: Spring Bulbs

Yes, of course!  I was wondering when we'd get around to them...  :)

For extended bloom periods, I particularly enjoy Puschkinia scilloides
and Muscari armeniacum.  They're old-fashioned favorites, but the flowers
last for a month or so here in Champaign, Illinois (USDA zone 5b). 

Other favorites include Narcissus 'Tete a tete' and, although not 
really a bulb, Hepatica acutilba and Hepatica rotundifolia.

Hooray!  :)
