Alongside The Pathway
Carrying on where I left off yesterday, the next tulip bed had more density to it. This is the large circular raised bed, with the lake in the background.
The path led on to other beds on both sides.
Here we have the largest of the self contained flower beds.
I need to look up tulips. Do they cut the stems and leave the bulb in the ground ? They are so beautiful. All that color after a long cold hard winter. Several of my plants have dried or burned up in our horrible hot spring and start of summer. That is why I try never to leave plants out just my cactus but even they are having a hard time. too many 115+ temp.
Tulips Tulips. They are so beautiful. I love big swathes of them. Hard to believe thery are still blooming. Ours were all done by the of April.

@Maywyn: and very different that time of year.
ReplyDelete@Parsnip: they dig out the bulbs, store them for the summer, and replant them in October. Other plants go in for the duration of the growing season.
