I love tulips. I spend all winter just waiting to see how my choices will look.
With last week’s weather being more like summer than spring (yesterday it was too hot to work in the middle of the day) – the tulips are all flowering together. Single earlies and single lates all together so I know I don’t usually just post images but please just indulge me in this.
T. Double Dazzle, they do too!
T. West Point
T. Dordogne
T. Parrot type Rococo
T. Peach Blossom - they are very short but amazing
T.White Swan
T. Brown Sugar - good enough to eat
.....and looking in the other direction
T. White Dream in the formal beds
And then of course there is the Wisteria, my other favourite flower. I have been watching the buds get fatter and fatter. But the bisrds have done this to two plants (plus all the 4 white wisteria):
This is how the others look:
and like this:
Finally I saw a butterfly feeding on Viburnum Carlessii; from a distance I thought it was a Peacock, then close too I wasn’t so sure, the colours weren’t as vivid as is usual, then on third thoughts I do think its a peacock but one that has over-wintered as an adult and is very much the worse for wear. what do you think?
