Caroline, I'm looking very forward to the little blue beauties, laying in wait under the snow! The way our weather has been, I believe I'll see spring about the same time you do. I'm anticipating some great blooms in spring, both from increase from the bulbs planted in 2013, and from new additions last fall.
I've always wanted to do a planting that mimics a stream, with a mass of little blue blooms. My big plan was to do 1000 Chionodoxa, but then reduced it to 500, in wanting to budget for so many other bulbs. Then when I planted, I realized I needed blue in another bed, and 200 went there. So, I did plant a little trickling stream of 300 of them, but it won't be the wow factor I was going for. Hopefully they will naturalize well and I'll see the effect in a few years anyway
Also added 50 Muscari azureum, 100 Anemone blanda- blue shades, and 40 Pushkinia.
