Wonderful, looking forward to seeing your pics of the Iris and Daffodils. Can hardly wait for the wildflowers to start up, had the best time last year photographing as many as I could find and studying about them, so much fun!

Yes. the few bulbs came as an extra when I ordered other native bulbs. Soon the other bulbs, daffodils, and Iris will be blooming too. It will be time to go spotting for wildflowers in a couple of weeks. :)
