Tulips with a side of rain


We've had a lot of rain in the last week. It's made for a wonderful outburst of green in the garden. The tulips are showing big buds, the daffodils are in full flower and we've already said goodbye to the crocus.
I'm hoping these particular ones will be back this year. I love their starry shape.
We live in an area where the soil is all sand. The trees I've planted over the years have grown extremely well, but things like bulbs only last 3 or so years before they die out completely, for lack of deep nourishment.
The poppies have pushed up their leaves and the day lilies are competing with the garlic for legroom. So the whole property is a green riot.
I love it.
