Favorites amongst bulb lovers are early springtime Crocuses, and cheerful Snowdrops. Tulips though, are by and away the most well known of bulbs in demand by flower gardeners, and are available in a variety of tones, including a black-colored one, which is more like a dark maroon and one of those rare plants I mentioned earlier.
