Bulbs: My bed of tulips 2013, 2 by LeawoodGardener

Patti, I like your analogy! The white helps make red stand out - I had just anticipated more red than white.

We're having a cold (32*F), rainy day too, as you can see from the tightly closed blooms. Yesterday I noticed one of the red tulips looked gorgeous when it was fully open, so I'd hoped to catch a photo today, but no such luck. Maybe tomorrow.

Looking at the bed today, it appears that there are at least a dozen yellow tulips about to bloom! I can justify the white tulips to make the red look better, but yellow? I think one of the two following may have happened:

1. Someone at the bulb company got some yellow tulips mixed in with the red assortment (it happens)

OR

2. I missed a few bulbs when I pulled them up last summer. Last year this bed had multi-color Mayflowering tulips, so, if I missed some, this bed could be 'interesting'
