Every autumn we plant more tulip bulbs and inevitably by the spring we have forgotten what we planted and where we planted them. So when they start to flower we are always in for plenty of surprises.
The low light of a morning in early spring is a perfect time to photograph them. I am sure they grow just to be photographed, as they are such posers!
Let’s have a wander around and see what we have …………
And there are more where these came from! (Tulip Time – Extra Time)

Beautiful tulips. I wish – chipmunks ate mine year after year so I switched to daffodils.You have a sea of beautiful colors to enjoy. Good job!
No chipmunks here! Aren’t we lucky!

Every spring they come up and amaze us. You can understand how tulipomania happened.

Wow! You have a full orchestra of Tulips there… they’re so beautiful! Mine are getting pretty battered by the wind at the moment so I’m glad that you’ve shared yours.
We have some still only just in bud so our performance this spring is going to be a long one.

Such a great show of tulips. Wonderful. Do they winter over where you are? Here they do not do so reliably.
Some over-winter and last for years others disappear in their first winter. We plant some every November to keep a good show going. Our problem here is that we sometimes get very wet winters and temperatures drop below 20 often.

Great selection of tulips! I love surprise gardening.
Lots more surprises to come too I hope because we re-planted a couple of mixed borders last year.
