New Bulbs, trying cuttings!

Well I managed to get to the nursery with Iris today (running into my next door neighbors that I share a raspberry patch with btw, who are superb gardeners and even better neighbors!) I picked up some rooting hormone and some small 3" peat pots, so we'll see if I can figure out taking cuttings. The plant I most want to save is the beautiful unknown clearance special by the Will Baffin, angelicum or something. Gorgeous plant. It's already looking frost nipped so I need to act fast, tomorrow!

I got the rest of my bulbs too - I ended up with:

7 scarlet gem (yellow outer, red trumpet) daffodils, med height, early bloom, 6" deep.
5 fondant (lovely porcelain pink) hyacinths, low-med height, med bloom, heavy fragrance, 6" deep.
5 crystal palace (deep purple) double hyacinths, low-med height, med bloom, heavy fragrance, 6" deep.

I'll pull together all my bulbs and make a plan up tonight. Maybe I can finally get started putting them in tomorrow!
