Chillin' In The Garden
If you read my last thread, you might remember the "random mess" partially responsible for shading out the garden space next to my walkway. Well, I've been working on clearing that out - we've removed maple saplings, hazlenut saplings, rotted branches/ small trees, a poor diseased rhododendron, ivy, and blackberry vines. I still have a lot of work left, but I was surprised beyond belief when I discovered clumps of some kind of bulb underneath the thick layer of dead pine needles, etc. More investigating led to the discovery of a partially tipped over, mostly buried planter pot that the clumps seem to originate from. 
So I can't post pictures, because my camera refuses to turn on (I know, right?), and I lack a smart phone. I'm hoping that you knowledgeable folks will be able to help. The plants are still quite small, some being taller than others, and no signs of flowers or buds of any kind. I dug one up (well, a couple, because they are clumped) to verify that it's a bulb, and yep, sure enough, these plants originate from tiny little bulbs. But I don't know what grows from little bulbs like this? Any ideas? I know this isn't much to go from... I assume they are flowers of some kind, because this garden is right at the front of the driveway by the road.
I adopted some purple fall asters (plus the sole remaining Blue Dutch Iris) free from the roadside today. Where in your garden, and in what conditions, do you find your asters do well? Thanks!
