A little town West of here is amidst a very large festival celebrating the tulip. People drive 3-4 hours to walk around and large variety of tulips. There is food. There is music. There are dances in wooden shoes.
Thought I would take the opportunity to log the little crop of tulips blooming right now on the South and Southwest beds of the Lot. The classic reds and yellows were here when we moved in. All others were planted in the Fall of 2013.
Your tulips are lovely! We inherited red and orange from our previous owners as well, but as my flowerbeds are all pinks and purples I’m not sure where to put them! Maybe my neighbor will take some…
Thank you, Linnae! I often wondered how those classic reds and yellows spread through the neighborhood. I may venture over to our neighbors who’ve been here many years and ask.
Yes, if the flowers do not fit into your color scheme, I feel offering them to your neighbor is a great idea.
