I always plant about 150 bulbs each year. This year I decided to augment my yard's fall color by planting fall blooming crocuses as an experiment. I love Garden.com because it's catalogue is infinitely more expansive than what I could get at my local garden store or through some catalogue. I'd highly recommend it. I have a particular interest in plants that bloom in late winter and very early spring, weather permitting. I have a little winter bulb garden that blooms anywhere from late February to early March here, depending on the timing of the season. In it have some early blooming iris, snowdrops, and aconites. In fact, I'm going to plant thirty more aconites later today--purchased from Garden.com. My mums are beginning to flower nicely. In NC, people plant pansies in November and they do nicely all winter and are ready to go in February. I've never tried to plant them here because I think the winter is often too brutal to bother trying but maybe I'll experiment with them as well. I would definitely plant them if I lived where you do. In fact, if I lived in Atlanta, I'd have camelias, rhodendrons, rose vines, and all sorts of things I can only dream about here.
