Tulips in our Yard 2010 (Part II)

If you missed Part I of our 2010 Tulips, click HERE. As I said yesterday, we have had 15 different varieties of TULIPS in our yard this year. They lasted about 2 weeks, give or take. They may have lasted longer if it weren't for Mother Nature and all of those high winds she gave us last weekend. Oh Well!!! Above is a very pretty Tulip, appropriately called APRICOT BEAUTY. Below are more!

This pretty white tulip is named PURISSIMA.

Here's a new tulip for us this year, called TOWERING PRISM.

This one is named SUN GOLD. I love the hint of red around the edges.

ORANGE EMPEROR

GUINEVERE

HALLEY'S COMET

And finally, here is ALL THAT JAZZ. It looks a little like Peppermint Stick from yesterday--but is a much larger tulip.

Hope you enjoyed seeing all of our different 2010 Tulips in our yard. We now have Azaleas, Irises and Rhododendrons blooming... SO--there will be more flower pictures upcoming.

Have a fabulous Thursday.

Hugs,

Tulips in our Yard 2010 (Part I)

The Tulips are all gone in our yard now (sigh!)---but I wanted to share some macros of our 15 different varieties of TULIPS. I'll post the pictures in two parts and will keep the pictures small. IF you want to see any of them up close and personal, just click on the pictures to enlarge them. George took most of these with his macro lens. Above is one that we have had in our yard for several years and is always a favorite, RED DYNASTY. Below are more!

BRIGHT PINK LADY

BIG SMILE

PEPPERMINT STICK (Look at the next one now--while remembering the name of this Tulip!)

PEPPERMINT STICK again----See how it got its name?????

LIFE'S A CABERNET

LIGHT AND DREAMY

MARDI GRAS

I'll post Part II tomorrow. I think we had the best group of Tulips this year that we have ever had. I hope the Irises (which are beginning to bloom now) and the Lilies and Daylilies will all be as pretty as the Tulips have been.

Thanks for wishing me well --with my 'tummy bug'... Luckily, it moved away (hopefully NOT to George)...

Hugs,
