Mon jardin 2009
Sheriff Roland:
Looks like this is going to be a dud year for apples, however, the pear tree has beautifully blossomed.
Sheriff Roland:
I was looking for pictures from a few years ago - and it may be that the plants are a little earlier this year.
Here's the main Queen of the Night tulip bed

Of the Queen of the Night? I think two dozen. But that was over a decade ago. I remember they fit on the right (south) side of the steps - where the variegated grass (and calla lilies) now are located.
I remembered when I was a child that my grandparents had tulips in their garden (supposedly) brought back from Holland after WWII (my dad & his 3 brothers participated in the European theatre) - and there was one, yup, just one 'black' tulip. Bryan made a point of getting them for me.

as well as seperating some lovely 'Stella D'Or' daylilies (some 20 of em) and placing em in that area to the centre of this pic.
There might not be much of a show this year from this area - but next year - look out.
In the meantime, if I may paraphrase a song Spike Jones released in 1949: "Ya Wanna Buy a Bunny an Iris?"
