In zone 7 USA it is time to put spring blooming flower bulbs into the ground. This year I ordered some sale daffodils from Cherry Creeek Daffodils for our own garden, but did a large order (750 bulbs) from Colorblends for a few nonprofit organizations. We are adding several hundred daffodils to public spaces for the March 29, 2014 Daffodil Day in Muskogee at the Thomas-Foreman Home and at a new city garden.  Daffodil Brackenhurst Last year was our first year trying out the event and it was a stormy, windy day but we had 50 visitors and since no one could be outside we thought that was pretty good. Muskogee Garden Club had planted 1,000 daffodil bulbs and this planting will bring the total to 1,500. Next year we are doing the same event: for $10 Start at the Three Rivers Museum and tour it if you want to, park there and take a trolley ride to the Thomas-Foreman Home, enjoy the daffodils, tour the home and enjoy a tea provided by Muskogee Garden Club members. Everyone...
