Tulips

The interesting part about the bright pink tulip, is that when I originally planted it and it bloomed the first year, it was white with tiny stripes of pink at the tip. Now it bloomed completely pink! I'm not sure if it is the soil or what? The other large purple tulip is called a ballade tulip and I absolutely love it. Unfortunately, although I had originally planted 6, this is the only one that bloomed this year.

Once upon a time

A sampling of photos from the Connecticut flower and garden show in Hartford. The theme was "Once Upon a Time." It certainly got me thinking spring! Unfortunately, now it is snowing!

Jonathan really loved the bees and the butterflies. (Oh, and the ladies running the booths... one told me he was a real flirt!)

I got some soil tested at the UCONN site- apparently our ph level is good- who knew?
