When naturalizing some lupines seedlings in my back lawn I used a bulb planting tool to cut through the sod/soil then pour a cup of water in (this gives them a moist environment to settle in as well as losing the air pockets) ~ plant seedlings! The result is a seamless undisturbed look to the area. I think this could be used to plant crocus bulbs easily! Plant my daffys at the woods edge where the field (aka "lawn" lol!) meets the woods, as well as my day lilies. IMHO these fleurs do not belong entrapped in a formal garden! Love this idea!

A true sign that spring had arrived.

So many people freak when their beautifully manicured turf is disrupted. Daffodils are another bulb that look great in turf. The good part is that after they bloom you can just mow them down and they comeback next year. Thanks Rees Cowden I love the look of crocus popping up in a lawn.
