    Had a hunch Walmart might be marking their bulbs down more today. Guess what? All bulbs were marked down 50% off their clearance prices today! I was there at 7am too, so came home with two bags full....and I've already planted them all. LOL

    I pretty much grabbed anything that didn't look rotted, and would not require digging. One bearded iris (Dover Beach/lt. blue), a bunch of lilies (multi color). That's pretty much it, the rest looked suspect. But I did go back and get more lilies for a mass planting along the ditch. Some anemone, and caladiums too.

    But then...I decided to try another Walmart, and their bulbs weren't 50% off, so I got distracted by roses and came home with a Baby Carnival, Fragrant Cloud, & Bluegirl. Then...I was near the best nursery around, and got distracted by a Betty Boop rose, and just had to have it too. It was 20% off though...but pricey. So much for the bargains. :eek:

    Here's my Betty Boop I couldn't resist:

    Nothing like a good sale - I'm tempted to go scrounging around here to see if any of my stores have any leftovers like that. What fun!

    Beautiful shot of Betty there - no wonder you are proud of her.

    Ah you're a lady after my own heart!!! Discounted bulbs and then getting distracted by beautiful plants that scream at you to take them home. ;) ;) Sounds as though you got some good bargains today. Betty Boop is absolutely gorgeous - I wouldn't have been able to resist her either.

    Betty is beautiful, so healthy looking, must be a #1 grade rose. Good find.
