Meanwhile in the Netherlands: The flower bulbs are harvested and being prepared for shipping to the U.S. (Some are already on their way!) It would seem like a good vacation time for the growers, but there is still work to be done in the fields. After the harvest, flower bulb growers may flood a field. The main reason for inundation is to control weeds and nematodes and to eliminate any bulbs that were missed.

After making the field level with gps, a few diagonal ridges are created to break any wind blown waves. Then a perimeter d**e is made with a special plow.

The field is pumped full with water from canals and will stay inundated for a couple months. Tulips will not be planted on this field again for at least another two years.

4 Bulb Myths Busted
There are plenty of bulb myths floating around, especially when it comes to tulips and daffodils. Let’s set the record straight on a few of the most common misconceptions.

1. The Black Tulip—There are no black tulips, though a few varieties come pretty close. They look black on a cloudy day, but with the sun behind them they show their true color: eggplant.

2. The Blue Tulip—There is no such thing as a blue tulip. You’ll find tulips described and pictured as blue in catalogs and on the web, but when spring comes, the blue you longed for will be just another (lovely) shade of lilac, violet, or plain old purple. Despite the ever-growing range of tulip colors, blue is still just a hybridizer’s dream

3. Pink-Cupped Daffodils—In daffodils, “pink” is a relative term. Some catalogs and websites show daffodils with clear pink or even blue-pink cups, but what you see in your garden is salmon or apricot or peach. Yes, it’s pink compared to the usual daffodil colors (yellow, white, and orange) and it’s beautiful, but baby pink it’s not.

4. Planting Schedule—You may have heard you can plant tulips at any time of the year. This is false. The only time to plant them is in the fall (September to December), when the soil has cooled down.

What Colorblenders are planting this fall.

The Colorblenders are all going to band together to help Paul this year. Our on-staff developer, he still doesn't know the difference between tulips and daffodils, although he is brilliant when it comes to coding. We offered him a plot of land at the Colorblends offices, and he decided to try one tulip variety and one daffodil blend that he thought looked cool. Wish him luck with Queensland Tulips and Daffodil Oh Pairs® Blend.

Tim does some of the big plantings at the Colorblends Spring House and Garden. This year he is adding a couple thousand species crocus Ruby Giant to the front lawn to make it a carpet of purple in early spring. And he can't help himself—he is going to add even more Hokus Crocus™ to the existing thousands that are already planted in the front lawn.

Jackie is obsessed with amaryllis! They brighten almost every window in her home each winter, and she loves discovering new varieties every year. Marilyn has always been her favorite, but she is excited to try the new Amaryllis Splash, which looks amazing.

What are YOU excited to plant this fall?

Post 2 of 3: What Colorblenders are planting this fall.

Christie is going to plant the Modern Vintage™ Tulip Blend. She has seen it in the catalog and in pictures from Colorblends photographers but hasn’t had the opportunity to experience it in person. She’s looking forward to observing the colors of this lovely blend in her home garden.

Elizabeth likes alliums. She wants to add the newest Colorblends allium, “Jackpot,” to her garden this year.

Besides planting for pleasure and beauty, Colorblenders often plant for function. Avery is planting Sherbet® Tulip Blend at her house this year because she wants to get new pictures for the catalog. Different backgrounds, different lighting, daily access. This blend includes a color-changing tulip that starts with a pearly pink that gradually turns to apricot.

Diego’s favorite bulb this year was Camassia, a bulb that tolerates moisture, perfect for projects like rain gardens and pollinator plantings. It blooms alongside natives like Golden Alexander (Zizia aurea). He is adding more Camassias this fall near the Tulip Garage at the Colorblends House.

Trish is always on the lookout for effective landscape daffodils to recommend to landscape professionals, with her extensive background in horticulture and landscape design. She is going to plant Daffodil White Lion, which has white petals interspersed with ribbons of soft yellow. White Lion is an old-timer that continues to be grown because, well, it likes to grow. It is an attractive and enduring landscape daffodil.

Stay tuned for Monday's post, the last in the series of what bulbs Colorblenders are planting this fall.

Post 1 of 3: What Colorblenders are planting this fall.
Colorblenders are gardeners, too. Some of them are old hands; others are beginners. All will be planting bulbs this fall. Here are some of our picks.

Christian is planting almost a dozen different daffodil varieties at his house this year. He plants and cares for the daffodil trial garden at the Colorblends House, so you might say he knows his daffodils. Three new daffodils that he is going to pay especially close attention to this year include: Eaton Song, Sailorman, Texel Sun.

Color-changing tulips are fun to witness. Daydream tulips are one such bulb, and according to the description on our website, “This changeable flower will give you a reason to wake up in the morning.” As Hanneke is semi-retired, she wants to spend as much time as possible watching Daydream tulips change from clear lemon yellow to rich apricot-orange next spring.

Evelyn is new to planting bulbs and will have to plan carefully to keep away the squirrels and the deer. She is going to plant the Trifecta™ Tulip Blend. She chose this blend for three reasons: 1. She likes the variety of colors and shapes. 2. She wants a lasting spring show that she can watch bloom in succession. 3. She asked her grandma for her opinion and “G-ma” said Trifecta.

Stay tuned for the next two posts, which will show many other bulbs we are planting this fall.

The first shipping containers of bulbs are arriving from the Netherlands! Actually this one is from Scotland. Although most bulbs are grown in the Netherlands, a lot of daffodils are grown in Scotland. We'll be getting an increasing number of shipments for the next month or so and storing everything in our warehouse until it's time to deliver your order this fall.

Remember late winter? Trees are bare, wind is bone-chilling, sky is gray. You feel…well, we don't need to revisit the winter doldrums. Instead, let's talk about what you can do to welcome spring as early as possible.

You can expect a colorful show from this group of early-flowering bulbs. The lawn is still asleep. The trees are bare. And then—color.

These flowers open at the first hint of warmth, popping out of winter-beaten ground right when you need a pick-me-up. All they ask is well-drained soil and spring sunshine—give them that and they'll come back for years. We wait all winter for exactly this.

Plant them this fall and your early spring self will thank you.

Red? Pink? Yellow? Double? Fringed? Parrot? Here's the thing about flowerbulbs: you can't tell what you're getting by looking at the bulb.

A tulip bulb that will bloom deep purple is identical to the eye to one that will bloom white. You plant in the fall and find out in the spring what you actually got. That's why it's important to trust your supplier to send you what you ordered.

As you watch this tulip production line in the Netherlands, you can see the sheer quantity of bulbs that are handled, and you can imagine how meticulous the operation must be in order to keep all the bulbs straight.

Colorblends only and always delivers exactly what is described and pictured in our catalog and website using the best quality bulbs from fields that we visited in the Spring.

Even with the strictest of protocols, mistakes in this industry can happen. We are human, after all. So that is why Colorblends guarantees your bulbs the first spring after planting. If something blooms that isn't what you ordered, we will make it right.

Will my tulips return next year?

Most tulips are at their best the first spring after planting. In subsequent springs, although the foliage may return, flowering is often sporadic. That said, if you are looking for tulips that can put on a good display for more than one year, consider Darwin hybrids.

Darwin hybrids are the quintessential midseason landscape tulips. They are known for their robust growth, large flowers, and bold colors.

Under ideal conditions, these tulips can flower well for two or three seasons—sometimes more—before you feel the need to replant them. (This is not a guarantee.)

***If you want a knockout display every spring, consider digging and discarding tulip bulbs after they bloom and replacing them with new bulbs in the fall. For many gardeners, the cost and effort are well worth it.
