That picture is just stunning!

It's pretty much spring here now. We've had March freezes before, but they are pretty rare. The last one that I remember was about 6 years ago. Unfortunately though, the winters are too warm for most tulips unless you plant as an annual which seems like a lot of work to me. They're so pretty though.

I'm trying to do an all bulb bed of bulbs that bloom at different times of year. I wanted it to be pink and yellow. I bought a "Hardy Pink Amaryllis" at Lowes. It bloomed at the end of last month and was a very bright red. It was pretty it just doesn't go at all with the other colors in the garden. I wished that I still had the receipt so I could have returned it. Oh well, I'll find somewhere to grow it. Does this look pink to you?
