A Tulip Update

Since my last tulip update the weather has finally turned warmer and spring is officially here to stay.  We've been out doing yard work, trying to spruce things up.  I've done some weeding and a little planting.  My tulips are taking off, but no signs of blooms yet.  Maybe in a week or so we'll see some results.  Here's the flower bed in front of the house.

This is above the flower bed on a hill that goes up to the back yard.  If you look really close you can see little patches of purple flowers here and there.  I planted those last spring and I thought they had died.  I was too lazy to take them out.  But look!  There they are coming back to life.  They are going to look so pretty when they are in full bloom with the tulips.

That's it for the front of the house.  I haven't been so diligent with the back yard plants.  I cleaned out some leaves and a couple of lavender plants that didn't make it through the winter.  Will post about that part of the yard another day.
