Every spring I end up buying several bulb plants. Mostly daffodils, but also crocus and sometimes hyacinths. On my way home from work today I saw that the local vegetable shop had a bunch of bulp plants on display outside. Soon this will become a hyacinth, and then it will be over. Most of these flowers last less than a week. But they bring me so much joy and helps ease my longing for the balcony that we lost when we moved to this apartment. I cannot muster taking care of a whole allotment so a balcony was the perfect solution. I used to grow all kind of herbs and plants, but now I have to do with my potted plants and seasonal short lived bulbs.
Love them too! I save all my bulbs and put them into the ground as soon as possible (right now you won't be able to move the dirt). Sometimes they come up next year. Sometimes they don't
