We gardeners have been enthralled by the beauties of these bulbous plants. The kaleidoscope of colors they display in different gardens right after the snow melts until fall are amazing. But have we really paid attention to the bulbs that they grow from? Here are a few example:
Allium azureum
Hyacinthoides hispanica 'Dainty Maid'
Fritillaria assyriaca
Muscari comosum
Allium schubertii
Camassia caerulea
Fritillaria rubra
Eremurus 'Cleopatra'
Asiatic Lily Bulb And Bulblet
Bonus pictures of Lilium seedpods and seeds.

Wow Lily, they really look so different from each other, and the Alium really resembles the common Alium cepa. When are you planting them in the soil? That Eremurus 'Cleopatra', is it still alive, it looks dried already. Even the bulbs are beautiful.
I always think it's amazing that such odd-looking things can grow to become beautiful flowers! Good luck with the Eremerus...I've tried and failed with it several times :-(
You make even bulbs look amazing with your great photography! It will fun to see them all blooming in your garden!
Hi Andrea,
Yes they do. Some of those bulbs are already planted and some are not. This weekend could have been the perfect time to finish my planting but we were out of town and we just got back. The eremurus is still alive. I could not agree more, even bulbs, they are beautiful.
Scott,
Thanks. I know that some of our fellow bloggers/gardeners have failed with eremurus and you also. I read that they require excellent drainage and I know one gardener here in IL that has been successful growing them. I will report back next year how they do in my garden. :)
@PlantPostings,
Thanks for the compliment and will definitely post pics next year. :)
