Yesterday morning — a weekday off work plus three more blissful things, all before breakfast:
1) Sunshine
2) An easy drive from city to country (ie, light traffic, no roadwork, no construction zones — this is rare)
3) A greeting from exuberant ‘Angelique’ when I pulled into Mom’s driveway:
No surprise that my favourite tulips are the same colour as cherry blossoms. You can see a close-up of another Angelique’s beautiful face here.
So if you were limited to just one tulip in your garden, which one would you grow and why?
Oh I love Angelique tulips. They look so much like roses, don’t they and they also smell lovely.
I had Angeliques but they seem to have died out after about two years. They don’t seem to be a long lasting hybrid.
BTW adding your site to the GTS blogroll now.
Thank you, Tricia. Hope you are enjoying a sunny Sunday.
absolutely gorgeous!!!!!i love the parrot tulips as well.
Yes, I agree they are stunning. I’m going to try to grow them in containers. Will plant bulbs this fall.
These are so pretty I love the delicate shades of pink.
Hi Kristi. Yes, I like the subtle shading, too.
Wow, that is one of the most beautiful flowers I have ever seen!
