bulbs for year round interest

Puppin I never thought of Cyclamen. Thanks. Nerines are too big for my
troughs which will be 2x1 feet approximately.

Mark,
I would try Ipheion, Anemone spp., Nerine, Cyclamen, dwarf Narcissi, and
Alstroemeria (although this last might fill the trough with roots too
quickly)

hi all

Over the winter months I'm planning to convert 5 large plastic troughs

into

tufa troughs. My plan is to have small bulbs only and have something in
flower all year. Each trough will have for example two small Tulips

species

I just cant think of bulbs to buy other than spring bulbs and Colchicums.
What do you suggest? The troughs will be in full sun.
