Default Bulb question please

Hi,

A question on bulbs please.

I have a number of pots down the side of my garden and I'd ideally like to plant 3 different bulbs in each which flower one after the other, trouble is I'm not sure what ones!

Any advice gratefully appreciated.

In a large wooden half barrel in our front we have a whole ruck of bulbs. They start off with Crocus sieberi, then move on to the big flowered hybrid Crocus, then dwarf daffodils (February Gold), then big flowered daffs followed by Tuilps and finally those big Dutch Irises. when they have all finished we feed the pot with liquid fertiliser and plant annuals on the top.
The choice is endless, almost all bulbs will gorw welll in well drained compost in pots.

Dwarf Iris are also very good and very early.
