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?


They still look just like slightly too fat grass up here in N Yorks
where it is presently snowing on my early daffodils


A few of mine have come through. While they look somewhat like
grass, they are fairly easy to tell apart from the grass I have
here. However, as far as I can see, only a very few have even
survived. Ah, well.

So much for the vernal equinox. BTW watch out for the comet in the
evening sky - easy in binoculars if the clouds ever go away again.


Clearly a portent of doom. Now, what catastrophic event happened
yesterday?
