Spring Bulbs 2010 : my yard

This was my first year for a ton of spring bulbs. I ordered the usuals : tulips, double daffodils, muscari, crocus, and hyancinths.

It was absolutely beautiful, and I will be adding more this year! The perrenials, roses, and TB iris are blooming now too!

This is a picture of Jetfire Daffodils and a Monsella Tulip. While the Monsella Tulip was beautiful only half of them bloomed. The other half put out buds, but never bloomed.

Who knows what tulips will even survive my area for next year.

Here is a simple white tulip.

Another shot of the same tulip

Here is a shot of a crocus. They didn't bloom until March 30th!!!!

Another crocus

Another white tulip

I had ordered a mix of "Color Changing" Tulips. Most of them were yellow, and I wasn't overly impressed. I won't order them again.

This is the yellow flower

Here is the same tulip as above after its color "transformation"

A Donald Duck Tulip. The colors were pretty, but I wasn't overly impressed. It didn't last very long either.

Variegated Firespray tulips. I loved these! The foliage is pretty for when it sticks around after blooming. My camera is awful at photographing bright reds and pinks....


I will buy more this year and put them closer to the front door.

Here is an Apricot Impression tulip. Loooveed these!!! They are beautiful colors. I had them mixed in Daydream (Darwin) tulips.

Here is another shot of the Monsella Tulip

Here is the Ice King Daffodil

I am not sure what this was besides a tulip. It was pretty.

This tulip was unusual inside.

Nice spring bulb selection.

flower addict, you're a bulbaholic and a good one!

They are really all beautiful. My favorite though, is the Monsella Tulip. So striking.

Monsellas are excellent for forcing as well.
