Yeah, I know (looking down and scuffing foot). I had some lily-flowered burgundy, Akebono, and Ivory Floradale last year. Some Angeliques a few years ago. All did well for that one year and I was happy with them. But it is more work than I am willing to invest in something that doesn't come back. One of those weird factlets--I live less than five miles from the Dallas Arboretum. In fact, my house is almost on the road directly to the place...and I've never been there.
Every spring, they have a program called Dallas Blooms with THOUsands of tulips. Talk about work!
