Tulips

I entered the Westcott Bulb raffle last fall and won my choice of prizes! It wasn't a difficult choice considering one of the options was a basket full of a variety of spring bulbs. I was doubly lucky to have a wife who was happy to plant them all!

The crocuses have come and gone and the daffodils now are on their way out. Maybe today's rain will keep them around a little longer. The tulips, though, are spectacular right now. These are some shots from the front of the house yesterday.

You might be able to see the tiger lilies behind the tulips and some poppies coming up here too. One mission for this spring is to plant some more summer blooming flowers between the sidewalk and the street, probably in another bed. Any suggestions? It gets lots of morning sun and a fair amount more the rest of the day.
