In the area of Florida where I live the only bulbs that seem to thrive are Amarylis and tropical lilies.
The rain lilies are nice but Michigan Bulb didn’t apparently get them in stock this year.
My gladioli die after a few years.
Normally we can’t over-winter Glads up here on ‘The Frozen Tundra’ but we had a mild winter last year and both Mom and I had Glads that over-wintered, so that was pretty special.
It’s the Little Things, LOL!
