Bulbs flowering in Fall

Bulbs flowering in Fall

Just when you thought the show was over, the fall flowering bulbs start to bloom. Sometimes they will grow early with just leaves, then the flower appears in the fall. Fall brings the colchicum (also called autumn crocus), Holland iris, and cyclamen.

Bulbs flowering in Summer

Bulbs flowering in Summer

Summer brings the glory of the dahlias that vary in size from miniature to dinner plate. Gladioli and lilies bloom at this time, as do the tuberous begonias. The begonias need a shady spot. Other popular summer bloomers are cannas, colocasia (elephant ear), nerine, and ranunculus.
