Bulbs: My Bed of Tulips II, 1 by LeawoodGardener

Last year I had an unusual occurrence - I ordered 1,000 yellow tulips, planted them in a bed in my garden, and had a beautiful bed of WHITE tulips. Somewhere between the grower and the bulb company, the bulbs had been mis-labeled. I told about it here:

The bulb company, Van Bourgondien, said they had no other complaints of mis-labeling, but replaced the bulbs this fall at no charge (over $300 with shipping!), so I thought I would chronicle what happens this year, just for fun.

Here's how it starts - I pulled up all the annuals in the bed, applied a layer of composted horse manure to help amend the soil, and had the bed rototilled two weeks ago.
