I have a couple of Rainbow's End Mini Rose Bushes in my yard. I also planted pastel tulips, crocus and snapdragon's near my front door. The first year they bloomed it was sooo beautiful. It looked like an Easter basket as I walked in the house. But, the tulips didn't come back after that. I was soooo disappointed.
We're gonna miss you Susan. Watch yourself down there and hurry back.
When I lived in Utah, I'd have tons and tons of tulips in my garden. The house we bought had been owned by a lady who was a member of the Sugarhouse garden club and she planted some of the most beautiful things. I actually had to go to the library to find out what some of them were. There was this one called a cinnamon vine that produced a vine that started at the corner of the garage and within a couple of months it was up to the roof and crawled all along the side of the garage. It produced some tiny white flowers that weren't all that great but the vine itself looked and smelled like cinnamon--except it wasn't cinnamon. Weird. Anyway, it would die each fall and grow another 40 or 50 feet the next summer.
While I like tulips a lot, I think daffodils are pretty cool, too.
Good Morning! I just had to share these pictures that I just took of the deer out in front of the house. They are so pretty! But they drive my dogs crazy! They know they are in the fence so they tease them!
Oh yeah, I have daffodils too. They do come back pretty well. But, for now, I'm pretty much sticking with the roses and whatever comes back on it's own. With the shift work and some OT I just can't keep up. It's down to Survival of the Fittest in my yard. Although, I will still get Snapdragons if they don't reseed themselves. They do about the best.
