I can't find the name of either tulip right at the moment, I know I have it somewhere. Right now all of these plants are under a few inches of snow that we got this afternoon.

Thank you Jo Ann. I wanted to know what that stunning daffodil was also. I thought it was so pretty that I want to plant it here at my garden myself. So I just looked it up and see that Scheepers has it listed. I will definately be ordering from Scheepers. But honestly, it is so good you posted as Scheepers has such a lousey picture of it that I would never have chosen to buy it from THAT picture. Rolling on the floor laughing

Front yard views from yesterday. Today everything is soaked from the rain overnight. I wanted to show this section so that people can see how I use the spring bulbs as part of the overall plan to have someting blooming in sucession from early spring till fall.

You can see the daffs along there and for the summer as the daffs die back I put in zinnias for summer color. Below the daff section there are two rows of daylilies growing with tulips that are just going to open. Plus one end has a stand of oriental lilies with roses in back and the other end has some asiatic lilies with tall beared iris in back. There are also some daylily plants at each end of the daff section.

And the row of Maria daffs blooming in the backyard along the path in the daylily bed.

Nice! You have some great ideas going on there.

I confess that I've set aside planning, except in regards to a specific plant's needs and what I want to hide once it's done blooming.

When I first started I would just buy plants that I thought were pretty and stuck them werever willie nilly. But I found it just didn't work. I never got the beautiful garden I envisioned that way. Plus my yard is so multilevel that I had to terrace a lot. I found that I just had to plan and plan carefully if I wanted everything to end up working together and looking good. So now I plan everything carefully and it really works for me.

Thanks. Mostly I had to do the terraces because planting on the hills just didn't work.
