More Garden Blooms...

My garden in the spring has over 300 tulips blooming...

It used to have over 500 tulips, but our cold winters have taken their toll on them

and

the chipmunks ate some bulbs too. (Sigh)

But, the ones that are left, along with some other spring flowers

always

excite me and make me so happy.

These are primrose:

Pink double tulips against a background of red/gold primrose:

I love looking wayyyyy inside tulips.  These had white trimmed in purple inside them:

The double tulips this year were huge...they reminded me more of Peonies:

Nothing cheers me up more on a sunny spring day than a group of red tulips:

And this year, my orange with yellow bi-color tulips did well:

They reminded me of poppies with their black centers:

Stay tuned...there will be more photos of my garden flowers.....I had to capture them with my lens before they all disappeared into summer!
