bulb planting

Martin asked how much cold Rhodophiala montana seedlings can take.
Mature plants of this species overwinter under snow, where the
temperature is probably quite moderate, and grow after snowmelt. I
suggest keeping all Rhodophiala seedlings frost-free. I have them under
lights in my garage, as Martin does, but if we have a severe cold period
I will cover all the plants in there with a microfoam blanket.

David mentioned that there were daffodils flowering in England now. I
haven't seen any actual "daffodils" here in Oregon, but Narcissus
cantabricus and its hybrids are beginning to open.
