Thats so funny because I suspected "someone" was stealing the tags from my plants too. I would wager its a chipmunk or squirrel.

I agree, it could be 'Tom Pouce', but the picture is blurry and the colors are off. Hard to say for sure.

Squirrels do this all the time. One squirrel also replanted a Muscadet bulb from the bed into the pot with Camellia for me. The Lily bloomed beautifully in the pot :)

I think it probably is Tom Pouce - that's one of the one's I ordered. Sorry about the blurriness for some reason I kept having that problems with my pictures. I suspect either the squirrels or bluejays are running off with the tags. They seem to replant my bulbs all the time. They haven't replanted any lily bulbs yet though, just tulip, daffodils, etc. There even replanting the neighbor's bulbs in my yard.
