Spring borders will be lightened up due to the delicate, brightly colored flowers of this plant.

Daffodil

Common name:Daffodil
Botanical name:Narcissus Assorted Varieties

Narcissus sp. is a spring-flowering bulb. They are permanent, increasing from year to year. Leaves are straight and flat or narrow and rushlike. Flowers are composed of right angled petals surrounding the trumpet in the center. Flowers usually face sun. Keep that in mind when selecting planting place.

Garden Ranunculus, Persian Buttercu

Common name:Garden Ranunculus, Persian Buttercu
Botanical name:Ranunculus asiaticus

A great spring-summer "bulb". Perhaps more "bang for the buck" than most bulb-like plants. Can be grow from seed, naturalizes in mild climates, but usually the odd-looking rhizme is planted, "toes-down".
