Thanks everybody! Everything is about 2 weeks earlier than usual this year, the single early, Darwin hybrid, and Fosteriana tulips have all started blooming. Its supposed to be sunny and 67 today, so I should see some nice open blooms when I get home from work
Carol, I'm as hoggish with irises, perennials, roses, or any pretty bloomer that will grow here!
My first little flower bed as a child was composed of spring bulbs, so they'll always have a special soft spot in my heart
Reminds me of a little funny- I was a quiet, shy child (hard to believe, I know..), and rarely got into trouble. I can only recall one spank on the behind, and it was for picking (stealing) a red tulip out of someone's yard! I remember so clearly that shiny red bloom, and picking it before I even had time to think- I was mesmerized by it. When that slap on the behind jolted me I realized exactly what I had done.
Dirt, your scilla photo is indeed excellent! You're so talented and artistic
I chuckled at your comment about the goofy hyacinths after they split- I kinda like them better after they split
Some of these warm days we've had have caused the stems to lengthen and then the heavy head bends over. There is actually something kind of graceful and pretty about the way they look laying over though.
