Wow so impressive! Meanwhile I’m over here trying to get just 370 bulbs in the ground before it freezes. Only 85 more to go! 😂

Ditto with what TL said :). I’m in Calif so I still have to wait till December to plant 200 which is a lot for me. I can’t wait for spring to see how yours looks. It will look spectacular.

[@SunshineFlora]

Yes it was!

[@soncarlgardens4767]

Looking forward to seeing them all in bloom!!!!!!!

[@SunshineFlora]

Thanks!

[@judymckerrow6720]

Just curious, why do you fertilize if your going to be pulling the bulbs? I was lead to understand that all the energy they need to flower beautifully is already in the bulb itself? I could be very wrong. 🍁🍂🍁🦃💚🙃

[@SunshineFlora]

I have only been planting in this space for a couple years, so the fertilizer will help the soil and hopefully the bulbs

[@glaizaroe]

Will you be reusing your landscape fabrics?

[@SunshineFlora]

Definitely!!!

[@cherigeitz7798]

Did the renunculas bloom this fall?

[@SunshineFlora]

Not yet!

[@lisamay8061]

Where do you get your bulbs?
