The very special ones

May19

In spite of their faded glory, these were worth every cent I paid for them. My wildly expensive, long awaited tulip ‘Acuminata’. A fabulous species tulip, rare, had to wait forever to get them and paid a year in advance just to get them……….. and here they are. I put them at the corner of the front walk, close to the door, where I see them every time I come and go. I liked them so well, know what they look like now, up close and personal, so know how to plant them to show them off.

Off to place an order for another handful of these………..

    They’re fabulous, and they last quite a while. Mine have been up for weeks. I’ll be interested to know if they return for you.

    Hey Mary Ann ~ Just stumbled across your site and have been enjoying it very much. Coming from a Zone 10, your Zone 6 info is very helpful. The links are great too. Thank you! Thank you!
