I felt that the area behind thie birdbath in this bed was light on tulips and also that the bed overall did not have enough white blooms. I added a long wave of "Happy Generation" tulips all across the length of the bed.

Three years ago this bed was a mix of all white tulips and Happy Generation Tulips, all victims to the voles.

As I am adding tulips and daffs to this bed, I am also including Muscari in every planting, so that there will be hints of blue throughout the bed.

This bed is 150' x 30' and there are over 3000 tulips and 2500 daffs. This year, I am adding another 500 to 700 bulbs to this bed.The early daffs in this bed are yellow King Alfreds and white & yellow Las Vegas and white and pink Salome and later blooming white & yellow Elizabeth Ann. I will be moving a large number of Thalia from the area by my neighbor's white fence into this bed and adding several varieties of white and orange/gold split cup later blooming daffs to this bed.
