Seattle is quite a beautiful city, no doubt about that. The Belltown neighborhood doesn’t swing that way. Much of it is downright hideously ugly. If not for all that ugliness, there’d be nothing to see. I’ve lived here for 20 years and I’ve only just started taking notice. Please join me on this odyssey of unsightliness as we try to figure out why poor Belltown looks so bad.

I think these were all leftover bulbs that were dug up from other parks and left sitting in plastic garbage bags in the nursery. I'm glad they made it. One thing about Narcissus is that you can stick the bulbs in the ground and they will continue to bloom for years without any assistance.
