You've got something to look forward to!  We've got the Splish-Splash, it's lovely. Our Liatris died, probably due to too much wetness. We'll try them again eventually, somewhere else.
I'm waiting for yellow Muscari and tried to order Crocus sativus, but they were sold out.

I haven't placed any orders for fall shipping, sorta waiting to get the front bed ready so I might order some in spring.
I have the white Dragonflower and the Blazing Star Liatris. The Liatris multiplies very well, the original 3 I bought about 4 years ago is now about 20.
I just looked up the Splish Splash....I will certainly have to order one for spring shipping!!!

Ooo-hoo! A planting frenzy. I just got Kniphofia, Oriental Poppies, Iris and Mediterranean Pinks. I've got half of them in so far. Have fun, I love the photos of Splish Splash.

I planted some Liatris from seed and it was gorgeous this year! I had to move it last week so I hope it comes back next year.
I didn't order anything this fall...I need to make more room in the gardens first (or make another garden LOL)

WOW...your plants look pretty good to me...I was told by fellow gardners to stay away from the Michigan Bulb company but I don't understand why after seeing your plants...My liatris don't seem to spread...maybe I will have to be a little more careful in pulling what I thought were weeds in the spring....nothing ordered for fall here...I had enough with planting my 186 bulbs the other week, also running out of room...have fun planting..Sherry
