As of this morning, all of the tulips in the front yard have bloomed. My fall bulb planting tends to be disorganized ---- I buy a variety of bulbs and then plant them just before the ground freezes. Bulbs are a forgiving variety of plant and for a few minutes of trouble in the cold fall, I am rewarded by beautiful flowers.
These tall elegant tulips are a perfect example. I first planted them in the fall of 2008 and last spring they were a lovely surprise. This spring, I added some daffodils to the bed and then waited anxiously for the tall, elegant tulips to arrive. It's a most happy way to start my day each morning.
