Here are some things now flowering in the open garden here in the foothills
of the Oregon Cascades, where it is presently raining (and will probably do
so until mid-June), with temperatures ranging from 35 to 55 F (2-13 C) most
days. This does not include bulbs planted last fall.

Muscari azureum, M. armeniacum, M. chalusicum, M. "botryoides album", M.
macrocarpum; Narcissus pseudonarcissus, N. calcicola, N. cyclamineus, N.
bulbocodium varieties, many hybrids; Dutch hyacinths and the wild form, H.
orientalis; Chionodoxa (various species); Scilla bifolia, S. greilhuberi;
Tulipa humilis, T. kaufmanniana, T. dasystemon; Anemone blanda, A.
nemorosa, "florist's anemones"; Puschkinia scilloides; Trillium ovatum
(native), T. chloropetalum, T. kurabayashii; Crocus minimus, C. vernus;
Fritillaria affinis, F. pallidiflora, F. persica.

In the bulb frame, probably about half of the 1100+ species are in flower
now, so it is very tempting to spend several hours a day just looking at
them, but I have to get back to work!
