Jane,
Would Tecophilaeas fulfill the requirements? I don't know what trough
cultivation is, but a 1 gal. pot with 8-10 bulbs of Teco. is absolutely
amazing in bloom and the leaves are short and low-lying. T. violiflora
(sp?) are even smaller, but so is the flower and it's not all that
spectacular compared to its cousin species.

The thought occurred to me that a trough covered with clumps of the
pure blue T. cyanocrocus interspersed with clumps of a miniature yellow
Narcissus all in full bloom would be a truly amazing sight.
