I bought a plant yesterday called a Florida native tulip. I'm sure it is not a tulip but I like it anyway. I planted it on top of my new rain barrel and I'll get a pic when I can.

So wha, I killed my last bloodgood ($100) and figured it was too exposed here for them. But now they can grow up with the shelter of the new hemlocks and I can see how they do for $15 a piece. Then if that works and the hemlocks are taller, I can get creative. Here's the ancient and protected dwarf JM.

It is such a delight to see all of these lovely gardens. It's like being on a garden tour in some other part of the country every time I turn on the computer. Thanks, all, for sharing.

Pretty display, Steven.

Jim, Kathy, I feel the same way. Impossible to comment on every bloom, but most enjoyable.

Thanks everyone! I just put a small obelisk over a clump of ornamental grass, so we'll see how it turns out once it gets growing!

Beautiful, Janice! The nice thing about having your garden so full is that the few weeds that make it through can't be seen. Big Grin

I'm not sure......I thought it might be T. pulchella but it's not.
After some googling, it's listed as a variety of T. hageri 'Little Beauty'. Heres some interesting infor on it http://www.paghat.com/tuliplit...
