Kevin planted 100 (!) red tulips last fall and they were out in full force a week or so ago.
We had four different colored tulips in the same area for a few years, but they flowered at different times and they were of different heights and they basically didn't seem as appealing as a whole mess of one color.
He originally ordered 50, but then when he didn't get an email confirmation of his order after a few days of placing the order, he ordered again and ended up with 100. He could have cancelled one of the orders, but can one really have too many tulips? Ask yourself that. And be honest about it.
There are a couple of mutants; here's a pink one.
And a yellow one.
The ones planted under the tree didn't do nearly as well as the ones planted along the walk. I guess there's enough difference in the amount of light that they get that they don't grow as well.
He prolly won't lift and separate (sounds like a good bra) and replant them this fall. Maybe next next fall if they're too crowded next spring.
I wish they lasted longer. We had a hot spell and that shortened their flowering time; they just can't handle that kinda heat. They look so happy and it's so nice to come home to that.
