<As I was coming back out of the woods I saw <all these small round white objects lounging around on the soil surface. <Masses of them, in several colonies. Some so thick I could not see the <soil. All of them fully exposed. Of course I could not leave them to the <vagaries of time and the weather <Has this happened to anyone else? Yes, masses of bulbs, mostly muscari I think, no dirt (soil) allowed in piles in a brick planter that's about 20 feet long across the front of my new house. Obviously untouched for years. I'm digging them out with the idea that I'll plant bulbs of my own preference. I can't imagine how many years it has taken to develop into these mounds... I suppose people will cringe when I say I've tossed them in the garbage but the whole property has extensive mounds of bulbs and that's not counting the patches of hybrid iris and crocosmia. They seem to be all one color as are the tons of herbaceous peonies - all double-flowered and maroon with no scent. Pouring buckets of cats and dogs in southwestern Oregon, I know my may way to the county dump and I have just the right-size truck for the job...
