Both sets of parents will be visiting us later today for Sunday lunch so hopefully if the weather is fair they will get a chance to view whatever colours are on offer in the garden.
Narcissus (Reggae) with the pink cup.
Muscari, Chaenomeles and Tulipa humilis 'Persian Pearl'.
Hi Frank..that is fantastic that your parents are able to do that ...charish the days!! Your spring garden flower are lovely and colorful!! We had 8 inches of heavy wet snow on Friday..I say it is Old Man Winters,April fools day joke on Spring!! I lost internet and eletric power for over 12 hours due to the storm!!
I was trying to figure out why I had so few tulips this year, and then found a few of the bulbs were dead and mushy- some sort of larvae got a hold of them.
Hi Everyone. Both sets of parents arrived safely, enjoyed their time with us and are now on their homeward journeys.
Thanks Eileen and texwisgirl.
Hi Lois and Grammie. We are fortunate that they are all still relatively mobile and we can share some precious time together in their advancing years. Requests for help are getting more frequent but of course we are ready and willing to help whenever.
Hi Grammie and Mona. I hope our spring offerings will help to keep your minds off your inclement weather.
Thank you Shirleyanne.
Hi Mike B. I only grow the smaller botanical specie Tulips directly in the borders as they fare much better than the taller flowering hybrids. I guess yours have suffered from one of the variou pathogens such as bacterial soft rot, bulb nematodes or 'mushy rot'.
Hi Cheryl. Fortunately the sun shone for a while and they enjoyed a lovely slow cooked braised steak lunch.
Hi M John and Monty. Yes, N. Reggae is unusual and one of my favourites.
Gorgeous flowers and photos!
