bulbs under tulips

The little one is hard and fresh. Baby tulip? The bigger one is still attached by roots to others. Not sure what it is; I didn't expect a repeat of tulips.

When the neighbors cut down the giant cottonwood tree, they knocked off a part of my yuletide camellia. I griped with neighbor about some of the sloppy things they did - branches landing on my (thankfully undamaged) Japanese maples and breaking off part of the camellia, knocking bouncing parts of trunk nearly into their glass doors, etc. To my surprise, a few days ago, owner of tree company showed up to see what I'd complained about. Yesterday a camellia showed up outside. Different variety (I'd have chosen another Yuletide for winter blooms from windows), but it's another camellia. This one is "rosehill red". Planted it what I hope is the right distance from the Yuletide.  Moved over the struggling sunshine blue about a foot. Moved and separated some Crocosmia in the same patch. Hope everything likes their new homes.
I stuck the dead-looking lingonberry back in the ground last week and watered it. It isn't growing like the other two, but it does look a tiny bit better; maybe there is hope!
