Gudoshnik tulips starting to bloom

I just love the way they look in that rounded raised bed. Like they were made to be there! I am quite pleased with these as they are a darwin tulip and this is the third spring for them.

I agree with Natalie. I think it would be well worth a trip across this great country to see your gardens. Problem is that we would have to do it twice. once for your bulb display & then again for the dl display.

Well over 10,000 --- oh my! Rolling my eyes.

The bulbs don't all bloom at the same time either. So a progression of color there too as well as on the daylilies.

I have really gone totally off the deep end this year. Rolling my eyes.

Rita, I like that last daffs shot. They look like an enthralled audience in a theatre.

Daffs lined up like a parade ha-ha. These are new this spring and directly in front of my blackberries, just at their feet. Tulips in front of them just comming up now.

I had planned on putting tulips there so dug a big trench for the 100 tulips. But then I just thought I could dig the trench just slightly further back and add those daffs. I am glad I thought of it. So that is exactly what I did. But they did turn out a little linier.

Oh yes, there is a parling lot for the park and beach. But only residents of town can get in. You need a sticker and there is a guard in a both at the entrance. So they would never let you park there sorry! Going to be very crowded in my driveway with all that company! Whistling Hilarious!
