The tulip is a most rewarding bloom to add to your garden. One of the very first to apear when the sun first warms away the sun and SO beautiful, Gem-like.

They bloom for a long time and offer So many photo opportunities. I find the center of the tulip an amazing focal point.

This is a top view of one of my purple tulips. It is so vibrant it has a sureal quality. So amazing in its perfection it appears plastic, floating on air.

It is a bulbed perrenial that multiplies under ground to create new plants and needs a lot of space and sun to survive each year. Seperate the bulbs and plant elsewhere as it establishes itself over the years or they will crowd and not do well.

Planted sometime ago I am sorry I dont recall this ones specific name.

I created a really amazing garden of my own, have had it for years now and it is always a work in progress. I have taken pictures close up of a lot of different kinds of flowers and have experimented with different places that work best for certain colors, heights, and plant choices. If you would like to see more of my garden, this is my site.

"How to Grow Delphinium

Annuals and Perennials, Ranunculaceae

There are both annual and perennial members of this tall and showy, flower family. These spiked flowers originated in Europe and are found naturally in forest clearings. They re an old-fashioned favorite. Gorgeous spikes come in jewel-like shades of blue, lavender and diamond-bright white, some with darker center spots"....
