The first clue that something had changed, was the cooler weather when we arrived back in Texas. After a few days at the farm, I received this e-mail from a customer: “The Oxblood bulb I bought from you at the garden conference in Prescott, AZ, 2 years ago has finally bloomed. Gorgeous.” Not long after [...]
West Coast Naked Ladies
by Bulb Hunter on September 3, 10 in THE CABIN
I say it up front, because if I just call them surprise lilies, somebody will try to embarrass me in front of more people later by saying “We call those naked ladies!” Yes, they are called that, too, I know. I beat you to the chase and have put it in the title of the [...]
Happy Friday
by Lil Bulb Speaks on September 3, 10 in THE CABIN
Singing to myself for a few reasons this morning! Returning home to a huge stack of orders to ship out is a great dilemma facing us today. Rather than shipping outside in 100 degree temperatures like we did in August, the weather here in Golden is cloudy and only in the 80’s today. And…dumdededum! The [...]
More from West Yellowstone
by Lil Bulb Speaks on September 1, 10 in THE CABIN
Ever go on vacation and obsess about taking pictures to the point that you forgot to enjoy the moment and beauty before you?

I have been working remotely on our semi-vacation, and Michael has been invaluable during this process. Our fall product pages are being edited and will all be up soon! We should have a nice crop of Byzantine gladiolus this year, and that has us excited. There is something else happening in Houston that has me [...]
Peasants
by Lil Bulb Speaks on August 10, 10 in THE CABIN
Plopping myself near the fan at the cabin on Sunday, I opened up this book given as a birthday present to me a couple years back. Inspired by Chris who is an avid reader, I am trying to become more bookish myself. This delightful story can be read in one sitting, and the illustrations are [...]
Sad Day
by Lil Bulb Speaks on August 9, 10 in THE CABIN
The landscape around the cabin changed dramatically yesterday when the calves were taken away from their mothers. Gruff male voices and rattling sounds outside our bedroom window early Sunday morning jolted Chris out of bed. Cowboys arrived with their horses and trailers to do a little rounding up. Terrible, waling sad mooing let us know [...]
Jingles
by Lil Bulb Speaks on August 7, 10 in THE CABIN
Just in case any of you were looking for a reason to smile today, let me introduce you to Jingles. Not Mr. Jingles not Bo Jingles just Jingles because he joined the family around Christmas time. Jingles is a papillon which in French means butterfly. The name comes from the long, fringed hair that drapes [...]
