    Ha! Today our first tulips bloomed. Right next to them are some grape hyacinths. I think that purple and red look good together. Soon, there will be more tulips but I had to get a picture of the first ones. One is the photo and then I tried to get once closer.

    Well, what's one more. It's really smaller.

    Success is yours, my friend. I'm so happy spring has sprung for most of us.

    What pretty Tulips and Hyacinths. I have never had the grape Hyacinths, they are really cute guess I might have to find some this fall.

    Chance basically ignores the flowers unless she takes a bite out of one. She will run over them pell mell if she spies a cat so we generally don't let her in the yard with the flowers. In her yard we fence the flowers. Sort of like our open range laws, if you don't want something to eat or destroy what you grow you have to have a fence. All of our highways are fenced for the same reason. Animals (cows) can roam where ever they feel like going. dooley

    Oh Dooley... those tulips are beautiful...the Muscaris too. You are right--a good combination.
    I hope that you will post more fotos when you can. I enjoyed seeing these.

    Congratulations on your tulips, Dooley. Such a lovely red too. They go well with the Muscari.

    Oh Dooley, such beautiful colors together. They are gorgeous. I'll be checking on those grape hyacinths to see if they will grow here. Keep the pics coming as they keep coming up. Happy spring.
