Put down 40 to 50 tulip buds in the last fall. The location may not be ideal, and the soil is lean. They came up eventually, late though; not as brilliant as I expected, also hard to avoid the messy background, lost my photographic inspiration. After planting and blooming, at least take some pictures to celebrate the short blooming. The photos stayed in the camera and I had not been in that mood to unveil for another 2 weeks. Here they are...
