April 11th 2007 a friend and I drove up to LaConnor Washington to view the tulip fields. I was so taken with all the beauty, that when I arrived home, I immediately got on the internet, and ordered a few 160 bulbs for my gardens. ( I can't believe they have been in the ground all these years, where did the time go?)
These pictures are of some of the tulips in the front garden, the tulips planted in the garden around the carport are not in bloom yet, and I am excited to see that some of the double tulips I thought had died out are coming up.

aloha keewee,
i'm so impressed with all the amazing flowers blooming in your garden today especially your gorgeous tulips, love all the colors and variety. thanks for sharing that with us and have a great weekend!
Your Spring bulbs are beautiful. I can do most but not the tulips -( too warm here and I would have to lift them and put them into the fridge each year ) I loved your previous post of your visit to the tulip fields they always look fabulous when mass planted.
They are gorgeous ... I wish I could grow them, but they're definitely not suited to this climate. Never mind, I can appreciate the photos of these lovely flowers growing so well in your garden.
Really like all the blooms in your garden, but my favorite has got to be the tulip "magier" - really like the purple edging. Where will you find room for another 160 tulips? That's a silly question - there's ALWAYS room.
What a colorful place you have there! I love it!
What a wonderful tulip display! You have a great collection. I too wish we could grow such things here. We would have to refrigerate them.
I love your tulips! I went on a mass bulb ordering spree once, but it didn't turn out well at all. I ordered something like 50 double-blooming daffodils (this was when we lived in NE)., planted them all dutifully in the fall, they all sent up beautiful green foliage in the spring and then all the buds started showing up...and then they all shriveled up on the stem. Every last one of them! To this day I have no idea what happened, and we sold the house that summer, so I don't know if they ever made a come back. I'm glad your bulbs turned out better than mine!
Thanks for sharing your beautiful tulips. Made me remember that it is spring now in spite of the cold!
Oh I love tulips too! What a great flower in the spring. We put 300 bulbs in the back garden one year, since then we've added probably 300 more. Just can't get enough.
