I need to lift a lot of narcissus and colchicum bulbs to move them to my new garden. Our region has just experienced the wettest late spring ever recorded, and the soil is much damper than it would normally be at this time of year. My instinct tells me that I should leave these bulbs undisturbed until the soil dries out, even if their foliage has withered. Is this right, or can I lift and replant them even if there is still some moisture in the soil? The soil here is well drained gritty loam, but not sand. And should I spread out the colchicum corms in a dry place after I lift them, or can I just put them in paper bags for 4 to 6 weeks? I moved my entire garden in the Cincinnati area in late spring. I dug the entire clumps of daffodils and put each clump in a grocery store paper bag, with all soil still attached. At the new garden I dug the holes and put the clumps in place and watered them in. No losses. Did the same with the daylilies. Bulbous plants are pretty tough. Bill Lee
