Color for the Weekend

Orange and purple-flamed Tulipa 'Princess Irene' and blue forget-me-nots (Myosotis) in our Front Walk last spring.

Remembering April... I am looking forward to seeing some more of Tulip 'Prinses Irene' in our Front Walk this year!

      Thanks! I am sure spring seems like a thing of the distant past for you now. I hope it is cooling down in Australia a bit!

    This is a such a beautiful picture! I love the deep orange against the blue forget-me-nots. So pretty:)

      Yes, Donna, very gray here too. We are only a little over a month away from April though, right?

      Do! They look nice with everything!! And are a great foliage filler early in the season for our borders.

    Tulips and forget-me-nots...beautiful. Nothing says welcome spring more! I can't wait to see more pictures of your April garden too.

    Hey - you've nicked my combination! It is brilliant though - also try it with Dolls Minuet - a mad lipstick pink lily-flowered one. Fantastic eye-pokey colour to annoy the 'restricted palette' brigade!

      Ha! She is a beauty. In this bed, dark purple T. 'Cum Laude' comes up at the end of T 'PI''s bloom.... nice combo I think. Definitely like orange & pink though too!

    LOL - I looked at your photos and thought, no way! She can't have that blooming already . . . but I see it's from last year. So hard to wait for spring. It was snowing here this morning, which was a good reminder that spring is a ways away!
