My "Great White North"
Sheriff Roland:
OK back ta the front yard, view from the sidewalk - can see 4 of the 5 clusters a daffies in the front yard, and in the main tulip row, near a dozen hyacinths
Sheriff Roland:
This view is a bit of a update on reply #64. It shows the last (smaller) clump a daffies in the foreground. The tulips should start flowerin this week (if we get warm weather), although these in the foreground are later bloomin near-black tulips. Mixed in among em are upside-down tulips (frutenellas?) - they stink and keep the squirrels from diggin up the bulbs. Hope ta have the whole front yard's flowerbeds surrounded by the cement block borders by the end a the summer.

Roland! Those double bloom daffies are glorious!!! I love all those bulb flowers. Bearded iris are my favourites but daffies are high on the list too. My ex husband once gave me 500 daffodil bulbs as a birthday present. The catch was I was the one who had to plant them! LOL
Sheriff Roland:
Glad ya like em there Jocelyn. Like em double bloomers too!
This here's the last pic I took taday. It a view of how busy the main flower bed's gonna be with the early bloomin tulips (I think I have 4 or 5 early bloomers a tulips and a couple or 3 varieties a later bloomers)
Also, the view from that vantage point is my mornin view in the summertime, when I chose ta go outside ta read, have breakfast, and basically just watch the neighbourhoud walk by. (the new flowerber,bout 2 square meters, is just behind that tallish plant in the upper right corner)
Almost fergot ta mention - the reason I took this picture was ta show off the hyaciths in full bloom.
injest:
looks like a wonderful retreat Roland...
