Today I thought it would be fun to take a closer look at some of the tulips in the garden.
Last year, I bought a bag of mixed “Fringe” tulips and they’ve really shown up this spring.
Such a great mix of colours.
This is one of the tulips that came from the previous owners, and it’s such a gorgeous tulip. You really have to look at it close to truly appreciate it – that red is just dusted on.
Have you ever heard of multi-headed tulips? Neither had I. But those three flowers all meet in one main stem a little lower down!
This pair are “Lemon Chiffon” – new this year. They are a triumph tulip, so there’s a good chance they will stick around for a few years, at least!
And this strange thing is an “Icecream” tulip! It’s gorgeous but a little on the short side for a tulip.
And the Peony tulips are always a delight! I should get more of these in the fall. I only have a few – in red and white.
The tulips are starting to fade, and will probably be completely gone in a couple of weeks. But they have been absolutely fabulous this year!

WOW! Such beautiful tulips in varieties that I’ve never seen before. I love the ice cream one. And the fringy ones too.

Your tulips are amazing! Do you have a secret on how to get them to rebloom? We have had exactly two that blossomed, but even that is OK because the local squirrels think the bulbs are very tasty.
