finding bulbs in the strangest place

Justin asked,

The people who won the centerpiece mini-troughs at the recent Western
Winter Study Weekend will find some. We used discarded potting soil
from my bulb frames to fill them when we planted them last fall.

I spread this discarded potting soil around the garden when remaking
various spots, and usually get quite a few seedlings and plants from
tiny bulblets that I missed. Sometimes these volunteers do better in
their odd new sites than they did when coddled under cover.
