We can structure this any way we like, but I suggest that we just list the bulbs that are carefree in the ground (not pampered in containers or frames or covered part of the year) and that it be bulbs that bloom reliably in your garden any time of the year. I made my long list of more than 40 that I easily thought of and have no doubt forgotten others. It doesn't include all those that are happier in containers so if we choose to do this I will have to whittle my list down to ten. I think this could be really fun as some people will have things on their list that are impossible to grow in other areas. Mary Sue
