Backyard tulips again taken yesterday before I pulled out all the orangy red short ones! They weren't what they were marked to be so they had to go. Hilarious! I do really love the yellow one up there. Just such a pretty tulip.


Red Emperor today.


And Apricot Emperor.

The Firesprays are well named as they sure are very colorful. I really love the fact that they are going to be perennial tulips and come back forever.

I looked at the directions to make banners and sorry to say I could not understand a word of it. I guess I am just not savvy about such things.

Debra, you just need to look into your chill factor. That is something I don't know about for your zone. But these tulips I am posting on this thread are perennial types so otherwise they should all be returning types.
