Bulbs from Last Fall

 We planted about 20 new daffodils by the grass on the north west side of the yard.  They have all come up nicely.  They were several packages from Home Depot  

We also planted about a dozen of mixed hyacinths on the  west side by the side walk in front of the yellow large daylilles.  They were a package from Home Depot,  There are white, pink, blue and red varieties.  All came up.

Iris.  In the iris bed on the south side we planted 4 new iris.   Paprika, Fonos, Concertina Rebel, Immortality, and Wine Festival.  Two of the four came up, but two rotted.  I need to find replacements for them.
