Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Me too. I do love the way it looks when the bulbs are blooming. My inspiration was the left side front yard on spring of 2011. I had just created the daff terraces in those belgium blocks and then put 200 early tulips into that bottom section right in back of my two daylily rows.

The daffs looked great that year but the next I only had about half those early tulips come up. Well, the heck with this. I wasn't about to put up with the reduced disply. I wanted it to look like it did. Only even better!. I put 200 early tulips again in a trench in exactly the same spot which will soon bloom this year. I put 100 parrott tulips on back of the early tulips were I had nothing.

Then I put 100 Showwinner in between the daylilies in the second row. I but the humilis violacea species tulips in betwen the daylilies in the first row. And I put bunches of Firespray tulips in between those two daylily rows. Then the belgium block mini terraces have daylilies at each end. The daffs are in the middle. I put tulips in between the daylilies at each end. Oh and I added some crocus.
