Blooming Bulbs
The garden Charmers are at it again. This time we got together to discuss garden bulbs, bulbs for all seasons.
Bulbs are amazing little store houses of life. Bulbs are perennials that have developed a fleshy growth as a storage system underground which allows them to adapt to and survive long periods of drought and then come alive as soon as conditions become favorable. The true bulbs are those of tulips and daffodiles, corms are similar to true bulbs such as in crocus, and tuberous roots are found in dahlias and iris. Although technically different structures, they all share a similar purpose and are therefore often grouped together under the general term bulbs.

Thanks Jay. We plant bulbs here right up to when the ground freezes.

Yes Tanya, leave those iris and daylilies where they are until next season. Our stores all have clearance on bulbs now, some good buys.
