This year I discovered that there are some Crocus species which come up in the Autumn. I ordered some of these, shortly after hearing about them, and got them in the ground immediately.
I don't spend nearly as much time looking at the garden in the Fall, when the leaves are covering the flowerbeds and it's dark by the time I get home from work, but I am happy to have these drops of color out in the garden at this time of the year for when I happen to look.
Other new bulbs include pink-centered Daffodils and a mixture of pink Tulips to complement our red and white front yard display.

Both spring and fall blooming crocus have been on my wishlist, but for two years in a row they have been pushed aside so that I can order something else. I know that once spring arrives I will be wishing I had planted them!! Happy New Year!!
