So I'm restricting myself to species from now on, as they don't seem to be as attractive to the furry-tailed beasts. <br /><br />I've seen 'Chinatown' paired brilliantly with pink bleeding heart. The perfect colour match and contrasting forms make a stunning combo.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14527649631254016576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-57858672806261181452011-05-19T05:58:44.193-04:002011-05-19T05:58:44.193-04:00Those are the most beautiful tulips!

It's hard to get a good idea of what to expect just seeing pix in a catalog.

I can't imagine how beautiful the impact of the whole yard must be. <br /><br />I only have a small area that is plantable for tulips because of the critter issues but after seeing this I'll definitely be adding more next year.Erin @ The Impatient Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14166660410287418037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-90816636237757018232011-05-18T09:11:31.680-04:002011-05-18T09:11:31.680-04:00Oh, thanks so much for sharing these gorgeous phot...Oh, thanks so much for sharing these gorgeous photos! I really appreciate that you've shown them in a more closed AND a more open position, as there is sometimes such a difference!<br /><br />I just planted my first tulips ever last fall and was pleased as punch to see them come up this spring - Angelique, Queen of Night, and Spring Green.<br /><br />I have since caught the fever and am looking forward to ordering more for this fall. Your post is incredibly helpful and I've added several names to my "tulip wish list." Can't wait for your daffodil post!
