Artiste:
Bonne Fête des Mères !!
Happy Mother's Day !
Sheriff Roland:
the near black (Queen of the Nights) tulips are beginning their 'run'. They're coming up in 3 dif'rent places this year (the newest is in the back yard)
two pics - the two main displays in the front yard.
Sheriff Roland:
looks like there won't be quite as many of these as in past years ...
injest:
they make a nice contrast against the others
Sheriff Roland:
Got a ton more pics taken two days ago (Saturday), but I'm gonna pause here to talk about a work in progress.
First, let me say that later this summer, Bryan's gonna revamp the main flower bed. After the tulips are done, it looks pityful. Also, before that, he's planing on creating a large flowerbed along the garage - mostly for lilies (they're my favourite and we keep buying new varieties year after year).
Anyways, this is not a lily or tulip story. It's (mostly) an iris story. They're coming out of my ying yang!! They're multiplying like rabbits.
Two years ago, when expanding the flowerbed near the driveway, I temporarily moved the larger iris to the back of the yard. Last year they flowered beautifully there, and I haven't yet moved even part of em back to the front (mostly blue and dark red - those smell like Dr. Pepper - but I digress, once again)
Here's a picture of that temporary flower bed from last year ...
