These are some of the tulips planted for the spring. I planted 1000 bulbs in three different beds all of the same color. The color scheme was purple, white and blue. I planted blue violas, purple pansies, blue hyacinths, blue muscari and the permanent phlox is light blue. I had difficulty with the pansies and violas did not grow as hardy as usual probably from the weed control I used last summer. In addition my digital camera developed a light streak which showed up in some photos.
The phto above shows a flowering Quince (red), blue hyacinths, and blue muscari (small blue plants) and the leaves of a holly hock.
One afternoon, I returned from work to discover a lady artist sitting in my driveway painting a picture of the tulips. On another occasion, a lady was by pushing a stroller and she said that she had walked out of her way just to go by the yards because it was so beautiful.

I especially love the tulips. They are so beautiful! I hope I get a chance to visit and see them for myself.
Thanks so much for posting the pictures on-line! I always love to see your flowers each year. They look great!

You're making the rest of us look bad with your beautiful yard! I love the color scheme and am not surprised that the art community has latched onto your garden.
Looking forward to listening in on your planning session at L.J.
