Pat Conlon sent these pictures of how their yard looked recently with the Spring Bloom. They've planted over 11,600 bulbs and more to come as they're able. Absolutely amazing! Pat says: "I started planting daffodils back in 1984 after we moved in. First 4000 went in with Door Co. crowbar - since then an auger is the tool of choice - still not easy in DC rock. I usually add about 400 a year - they do multiply, but some eventually die off - so each year I stake out where the new ones are to go and then plant them in late September. It's just something we do for our enjoyment, but quite a few community folks know about it and enjoy driving by this time of the year." Pat & Anita
