Transplant when dormant. *Make a note on your calendar in the late fall,

I have a bunch of bulbs earmarked for transplanting. *Some I have been

Thanks! Shoulda been obvious transplant when dormant! Also
mark the spot(s). I didn't do it last year, so was afraid to dig
up to plant temporary color. This year will definitely mark.
