I planted a lot of sprint bulbs for naturalising last year, and
all have come through (though usually not woth flowers, as I
expected) except the Chionodoxa. Are they normally much later
than Crocus, Puschkinia, Ornithogalum, daffodils etc.? Or were
they all non-viable?

Mine are just showing a little colour but are not open yet, the larger
pink
ones tend to be earlier than the blue ones which are difficult to tell
from
grass at first. Last week I couldn't see the blue ones in the grass but I
can today.

Yes, but I can't see any leaves! I might have confused them with
grass, but I don't think so. Of the new ones I planted, only the
Pushkinia is going to flower the first year afterwards.



The blue ones are easily missed as they do look grass like at first.
Not all mine took originally but the ones that did soon made more, including
one that came up pure white.
