Tulips come all at once here, I try to plant for succession but I get bounty instead! In answer to your question "Thanks Julie, yes today is sunny but very windy, so windy it bent the tube of my washing line! Slide number 8 is Tulip Burgandy Lace and this is the second year it has flowered. It's actually quite red so I'm not sure if the slide show always starts in the same place. Other pink tulips I have are: T. China Pink (Lilly flowered) and T. Peerless Pink (not sure if there was a photo of this - I think it was out of focus)."

It was wonderful until 2 years ago we were flooded and lost all the flower bulbs. Now its day lilies and a variegated grass- both are super hardy to withstand the water and the salt from winter!<br />Also- LOVE the scilla in between your flagstone and another favorite of mine along walkway & drive is the anemones too!!gabrielle@flowerbulbcrazy.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16997554115681877885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266054126005966461.post-61240143235696309022011-04-15T15:11:44.576-04:002011-04-15T15:11:44.576-04:00Masha & Leaves'nbloom:

The only way to do it :)<br /><br />Dee: Yes, I have read his letters with Beth. Great example of how our gardens can display our different personalities! And they are both amazing (they & their gardens). <br /><br /><br />Thank you all for you kind comments.
