Posted - Apr 26 2007 : 3:54:44 PMHello, I have 1000s of bulbs I planted last year (Yep 1000s) so I could cut flowers and bring into the house and still have them in the gardens too. Twice now I have cut flowers and brought into the house only to have small dark bugs come crawling out of them as they warmed up. They look like fleas, jump like fleas. They are hard when you squash them with your fingers. Has anyone had this problem? Any ideas on what they are? Any ideas on what I can do to bring them in the house? I washed all the flowers and soaked them in water but the bugs just keep comeing. I promised my students I would bring them flowers Friday to take home but how can I do that when they are buggy. I am so bummed to think that I planted all those bulbs to have them taken over by bugs and have to remain in the gardens. Help Please! Now my skin is crawling I feel like I have bugs.
