Got my bulbs..part one

All 5 gazillion...slightly exaggerated, but close. Sitting in front of the computer, daydreaming about my garden this past August, I got the BRILLIANT idea of ordering bulbs. I wanted SWEEPING displays in the garden... so I ordered in multiples of 100.
Drumstick Allium, or Allium Sphaerocephalon...purple 20-24in tall 1in flower head, and should do well in Z4-10. Got 100 of these

Allium Roseum,

Allium Caeruleum-18-22 in tall , got a 100 of these

Allium Aflatunense "Purple Sensation"

One of the best for adding variety of form and color to borders and mixed beds. Purple Sensation blooms in late spring or early summer, producing 4” lilac purple pompom blooms atop 3’ to 3-1/2’ stalks that soar up from a base of broad-leaved foliage. Use them for bouquets fresh or dried. They grow best in partial shade, zones 3-11

Got 50 of these

Allium oreophilum, Alpine Rosy Bells:
10 in tall, got 80 of these
