Mellow Yellow Monday - Yellow Tulip

Pin It

A surprise yellow tulip has sprung up in my garden. I know I planted it but darned if I remember when.

And I think the chickens or slugs must have made quick work of it in the past because this is the first time I've seen it.

Weird.

Ruby Tuesday - Early Spring Tulip

Pin It

Six out of seven tulip buds are waiting to bloom in an old black plastic pot beside the stairs to my office. Someone always has to be first, and she put on such a show in yesterday's bright morning sunlight that I knew she would be the Ruby of my Tuesday this week.

Mary's got a lot more ruby photos to show you. Check 'em out.

A Chilly Tulip Angelique

Pin It

I brought my Angelique tulip bulbs indoors late last summer, kept them in a paper bag in the vegetable crisper of the refrigerator, and planted them in late February. Now they've begun to bloom and they're not bad looking. My experience with tulips has always been that they look beautiful the first year but then it's all downhill after that; they never acheive that first-year beauty again. Maybe a winter's worth of deep chill is what the doctor ordered.
