    Here are the pictures! If you notice in the 4th picture of the Ballade Lily Tulips, the last tulip on the left has one bright yellow petal! I have never had that happen to one before.

    Wonderful!! All my daffodils and tulips are fading fast so it's lovely to see yours in full bloom.

    Love your spring bloomers! That two-toned tulip is something else. I have never seen that before. Now I wonder if next year will it grow the same way.?

    I hope it does. The yellow is a very bright clear yellow and is a great contrast to the burgundy pink.

    I love your little moles and would add them to my garden if I found any around here. They make me smile just looking at them.
    I have Grape Hyacinths too and although very pretty I find that they are rather thuggish. They self seed all over the garden and I'm forever digging them up and placing them in more suitable places.

    Thank you for the nice comments! Eileen, it may be that it's our weather or our soil as I have never had them self seed and I've had them for years. The bulbs keep increasing so the row gets wider but they never come up any where else in the yard. Thank goodness! My salvia does enough of that!

    Well, Eileen, apparently I was wrong about my hyacinths not re-seeding! After growing them for 40 years in different areas, today I found 3 separate patches of little hyacinths coming up, 3 to 4 feet from the ones I planted!
