It is astonishing what / how bulbs survive. But maybe not. After all, bulb / corm / tuber are a plant's way of getting through hard times. I recently saw daffodil foliage sprouting in my compost heap. Puzzling over it I realized that late last spring I found some neglected paper white narcissus bulbs (an impulse purchase at Costco) in my garage where they had been languishing since last fall. That's fall of 2018. So I tossed them out. They slept all summer, which was a wet one. We had an end of summer dry spell. Then some rain. And now they are growing quite nicely. No flower buds, just foliage. I won't excavate them and bring them indoors. Not worth the greenhouse space, which is jam packed anyhow. But it is still a lovely reminder of the will to grow that bulbs may offer us.
