Hi Penny,
What did you buy??
I bought some more 25 double tulips in shades of pink to rose.
Also some short little tulips the name escapes me that are only
suppose to grow 6 in tall. I was given about 200 red tulips a few
years ago (50th anniversary(war) Dutch Tulips). . . . then I was
given about 50 pink and 50 "blue" tall late tulips.
I'm not that fussy for red so I planted them in my shrub border and
that is on the far side of the house so I don't see it easily. The pink
and blue plus the yearly extra's I have in my main garden right in
front of the patio. Plus I have hundreds of grape hycinths - I really
like them - plus in the spring I am over run with forget me nots . . .
mine are mostly blue but I have pink and white as well. . .oh I almost
forgot also have some "pink" daffoldils. Normal daffs and yellow and
white tulips are in the front bedplus some new double striped green
and white tulips.
I really like spring<g>
