Tulips and Crocus
My crocus are in the front of this photo and my tulips were just starting to come up. I am hoping this was like a "blanket" and not a funeral for them!
Crocus is incredibly hardy because it is one of the earliest blooming spring flowers, but I'm with you on the tulips... we've had a frost or two and I'm paranoid that our old (practically heirloom) bulbs are going to peter out before we see any flowers.
I am afraid the message above might be spam :-)))
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you still have snow! I hope your little flowers have not got frozen.
It doesn't bode well for spring flowering! :(

ReplyDeleteI'm starting to guess you'll have to garden again!
ReplyDeleteNeva, I'm so happy to hear that Shannon loves it in India!
ReplyDeleteI hope they survive too, but they look like something in Pompeii.
