Charlottesville bulbs planted include (from Brent and Becky's. gift from Phyllis)
5 Narcissus 'Delibes' planted at head of drive between azaleas.
Delibes - (2 Y-YYO) a terrific perennializer and an old standby; buttercup yellow, rounded, overlapping petals and a pale yellow/orange cup with a broad, bright orange rim; a bright 'happy face' that is bound and determined to make you smile! 12"-16"; early-mid spring; 1950; 14+cm.
10 Narcissus 'Manly' planted at head of drive either side of Delibes in groups of five.
Manly - (4 Y-O) strong stems and sturdy, non-blasting single blossoms; pale yellow with mandarin orange segments; terrific for showing, bedding and containers; 14"-16"; late-mid spring; whz 3-8.
5 Narcissus 'Slice of Life' planted at head of driveway closest to house, from Manly.
Daffodil Slice of Life is a multiflowered split corona, and it is fragrant. This daffodil is 12"-14" tall and blooms late-mid spring; 12/14 cm.
10 Dutch Iris 'Rendez Vous' planted with Red Ember by garage entrance.
Often blooming around 'Mother's Day', these are good, long-lasting cut flowers and are ones that make nice clumps in the late spring garden; rather formal flowers that give wonderful linear form to the border; 18"-20"; whz 6-8; bulb size 8+cm unless noted otherwise.
10 Dutch Iris 'Red Ember'
Iris hollandica
Late-spring borders sizzle with drifts of rich red colour when you plant this unique iris in groups of threes or fives! With its flamboyant form and unusual colouration, a planting of Red Ember closely resembles a flock of tropical birds at rest in the landscape. Smoky purple-red blooms lightly kissed with copper feature contrasting yellow blotches and stand atop tall, straight stems perfect for bouquets.
Note that many bulbs were dug up (squirrel presumably) then replanted. All were sprinkled with 'RepesAll' and the iris with Irish Spring soap shavings. Both suffered squirrel digging.
In Deltaville, planted the potted Gerberas by the shower--last year's plants were blooming still.
Also planted two peonies. Kansas
by the driveway and Burma midnight
single flowered one by the HVAC unit.
In Charlottesville, planted four peonies in the bed to the NE of the birdbath between the older peonies. From south to north, Adolphe Rousseau
Lora Dexheimer
and on the north of center Henry Bocktose
and President Roosevelt.

One of these in the garden between birdbath and sundial didn't appear in the Spring; presumably dug up by a squirrel. On the N end, Roosevelt I guess.
Three blooms on the older peony on the S end, two on the one on the N end.
Three peonies by driveway to garage; two red and a pink on S end.
Spring 2020 Burma midnight is blooming beautifully 17 April in Deltaville
