When we first moved into this house, it was very late fall verging on winter. The first thing I did, before unpacking boxes or cleaning the house or setting up furniture, was plant my bulbs. A certain someone in the family thought I might be slightly crazy to do this before even finding the toilet paper and towels. But I knew if I didn't get those bulbs in the ground immediately, most likely, we'd have no flowers coming up in the spring. I wasn't taking any chances. I'm still not sure he cares as much about the flowers as he does about toilet paper, but I'm pretty happy with my choice...
So here are a few more pictures of some of the lovely things growing in my flower garden .....
Snowdrops
Tall salmon-pink tulips

Well, it's summertime here. We had spring back in Febrary.
I think you made the right choice! I would be in heaven with all those tulips around!
I LOVE the tulips. For my friend's bridal shower, we did fuschia and orange tulips. Gorgeous!
your garden is so lovely!
we got nothing. including spring. it went straight to summer here. :(
How pretty! I wish I knew what type of flowers and stuff did well here. I love Lilacs. they are pretty and smell so good.
You are one smart lady. Beautiful flowers. I want flowers, but I'm not inclined to do anything about it. Good for you.
great pictures!
Everything looks gorgeous.
What do I have? A bunch of weeds.
I LOVE tulips! Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous!
Those tulips are beautiful!! And I love the snowdrops as well. I planted some lilies last year and I can't wait for them to bloom in the Summer. Their foliage is up beautiful and strong. I'm so excited.
I got lots of perennials that the woman who owns the house planted a few years back---but sadly, they are not as beautiful as yours---WOW!!
I'm soooo impressed and not worthy...
beautiful, good work!
We had a very early warm up so my bulbs all came up then we had a few more freezes so not a single flower this year. It really bummed me out.
I love it. And I'm the same way about planting my stuff. My dad once gave me a whole bag of tulip bulbs one night at Sunday dinner. Well - I was so excited to get them into the ground, that I came home and planted them that very night. In the dark. With a flashlight. Ben told me to stop - he was worried the neighbors might think I was burying a body or something.
Beautiful! My flowers havn't bloomed yet.. still waiting. Yours are probably much better!
All of your flowers are making me jealous since we have such a lack of color in our yard.
