Post #6493313

I've worked very hard on my yard over the years and have tried to make the display nice for the people next to the bus stop - 3 people today complimented me on the big yellow Fritillarias - this year, I planted 3 in a semi-circle around the round metal sewage cover.

My problem - they are quite expensive and won't bloom again for me. I love them, but at almost $5 each, it's hard to justify planting year after year.

Suggestions? Can I lift them?

Please, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
