I bought a bag of 10 DL bulbs/tubers at Wal*Mart in June that had been marked down to half price. I just planted them between my euyonmous and covered them with mulch. By the 4th of July they all had sprouted and I had little green spikes about 8" tall.

Several of them bloomed in early August ... but the one in the most shade just bloomed this week.

I saw the flower buds on it last week... but I figured the frost would prevent it from blooming. But, it persevered!

Cheap thrills like that are hard to beat.
