Lycoris and Crocus Bulbs

So around October I noticed some pretty wispy flowers that came out of nowhere growing on the side of my house. I looked them up and found out they're actually lycoris. I'm thinking that the last freeze we had killed much of the ferns and other plants that were growing there, so i was finally able to see what was there the whole time.

Lycoris Bulbs I pulled up

No telling how long they were growing there on their own, so i went yesterday to investigate and found that there were a ton of bulbs over there! I dug out less than a foot square and pulled up over 30 of them. I left a large clustered clump of bulbs where they were already established just in case the transplant went bad. 


I also planted 18 bulbs of crocus around the tulip tree nestled in along with the ranunculus. Oh and the ranunculus are already starting to put up little leaves again! Only about 4 of the 10 or so i planted last year have started to peak out so far.
