Campernelles at Crow Park on the Trinity River Dallas

Published Wednesday, January 30, 2008 by Bulb Hunter | E-mail this post

Last March, we teamed up with the Trinity Trust in a cooperative effort to rescue bulbs from an abandoned lot in Fort Worth slated for a new development project.

The president of the Forth Worth Organic Club first told me about the lot filled with campernelles off of Texas State Road 121.

She organized her members, and with the help of the Dallas County Master Gardeners, and numerous staff from our corporate sponsor of the event Calloway’s nursery, and the staff of the Trinity Trust, we dug the bulbs and relocated them in Crow Park between the levees of the Trinity River.

A couple weeks ago, we went back to Crow Park to check on the bulbs. The park was in high spirits with a weekly soccer competition taking place. We went to the spot where we had planted the bulbs. After 3 weeks of being under 20 feet of water in the flood plains of the Trinity this summer, the bulbs survived and are coming up! There might not be any blooms this year, but their survival and growth this winter is not only a testimony to the bulbs, but a confirmation of a successful project with the Trinity Trust.

Thank you Calloway’s for providing water for all of us thirsty diggers!
