birder17, you're quite welcome. A pleasure shared; multiple pleasures gained? Especially in gardening. I'm glad you and others have enjoyed my early Tulips. I tried to tag those that I'll have in the garden for a long while. Others? They become an overwhelming task. I too enjoy those catalogs, but I rely on local nurseries and the big box Stores for most of my spring plantings for I can actually 'touch' those that I'll bring home. lol

Oh, when you and husb. dig them up. How soon after they finished blooming will you do so? I was told down here we need to allow the leaves to turn yellow before we do if we wanted to try to keep the bulbs....space is a premium in our small garden. Leaving them in the ground for an extended time is proven impractical.

I've yet visited Az. How is gardening there differ to your planting back home in Mo.?

Here is a pic. Tulips folded their petals in the evening due to lack of sunlight. I love to watch them at different time of day.
