rotfl, those were all sent mixed in shipping in a bag. i bought them last year on ebay as 80 purple peony perfection tulips. all i did was take them out and plant them. immagine my surprise to see these when they bloomed this year. i was mad and heart broken but i do love them although it wasn't what i thought i bought. my fav of those is the burgandy black ones i think there is one or 2 in that pic i can't tell on the little pic. so by all means the color combo was purely an accident on my part but i do really like it too.

oh, i want them, love them both!! for green i have the tulips, daffs, seeds for-the hulk aster, zinnia envy, a lime zinnia but not envy, jade sunflowers, lemon lime sunflowers, green nicotania, my green star glads i left out last winter i believe i killed them or they just aren't due to come up yet. i may have other things i'd have to look. i thought about doing a choc bed but i want it to be a wonka theme,lol. i want it to have unicorn rush and hair allium and quarky things along with brown blooms. after i hosted the wonka swap the kid's and i decided someday we will have a wonka garden, rotfl. it is my project for next spring :)

here is another of my tulips. i went out one day it was so hot they all flipped backwards couldn't find my cam. a few days later i found it and took this one i never saw them do it after that. was really neat to see thought ya might like to see it. i believe this is one of my white emporers not sure. it just looked as if they fell asleep relaxing in the sun i have never seen one do it before.
