Flower Roundup

Cheerful pink tulips outside our bedroom window, curving to the sun.

These are the second round of the pink and yellow tulips that I bought on clearance when we got our Christmas tree this year. Not only did they come up despite the late planting, but they are gorgeous and have lasted for weeks, and it looks like we have another week or two to go. Amazing flowers!

The lilacs are out, too.

Nothing like that smell. The one by the garage flowered with its usual abundance. Still a light flower year for the two in the backyard that were drastically pruned in Oct 2009, but the plants are looking happy and will probably be up to form next year.
