Over the last 3 years I've documented my attempts to have a nice, large bed of tulips in my garden:

Season I - the bulb company send the wrong tulips (they looked great, but not what I wanted/ordered)

Season II - I got the right bulbs, but the blooms didn't seem to last very long

Season III - I decided I'd try a bed of mixed colors for 'something different'. I chose all Mayflowering Darwin varieties:

"Pink Impression" (100)
"Cum Laude" (100)
"Renown" (100)
"Sky High" (100)
"Queen of the Night" (100)
"Maureen" (250)
"Mrs. John Scheepers" (250)
