This one bloomed yesterday but has more open today.

Bowl of cherries


Here is a bloom open on Killarney Green. The two blooms are crowding each other. This one has grown a little tall this season. The photo is more yellow and the actual bloom is more green. I love the plum markings on the green falls.

Fancy Sparkler is one of my favorites. It is a deep velvety plum in the shade and a rich glowing firey plum in the sun. It has substance and I think the light hafts set off the deeper tones.

I keep a lot of my extra dwarfs in tubs and pots in order to move them near porches, walkways and decks during bloom time. Here is fancy sparkler with a tub or grape hyacinths and a tub of white tulips nearing bloom.

Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing?
