Several months ago I purchased some flower bulb packages at the 99¢ Store and wondered for several months as they sat under the soil if any of them would bloom. Well it just so happens they did, every single one of them! Scilla Siberica, Anemones, Ranunculus and Narcissus bulbs. Blue, Purple, White, Yellow, Orange and Pink blooms covering a wide range of the color spectrum. Who knew the 99¢ Store could offer so much garden inspiration.

I created plant labels by laminating the packages to remember what and where they were planted. I was completely surprised this month when every bulb bloomed. The yellow “Jetfire Narcissus”  have just a hint of fragrance and look just like daffodils. The Scilla Siberica were dainty miniature little things, I have not ever seen this flower before until it bloomed in my backyard and that was pretty cool. The ranunculus were last to bloom and although they are not fragrant, they are very delicate and showy flower. I plan to get more next year with one exception, I plan to buy larger quantities since they proved to be great flowers at a great price. Nice little bundle of beauty for a dollar.
