Spring at the Gardens

Last fall I planted over 1,400 bulbs in our gardens. So much work! But it was totally worth it.

Yellow, red, and purple tulips popping up in the front beds.

Gorgeous daffodils!

The blooms trickled in a bit more than I would have liked. This fall, I’m planning on filling in the blanks now that I better understand what sizes, heights, and sun we have. A lot of the late-spring bulbs are just now blooming since we had such a cool spring in northeastern Iowa.

I love these yellow/green tulips! I wish I remembered where I bought them and I would order a bunch more!

Ronald McDonald parrot tulips are where its at!

Pink/purple bulbs! These are much prettier in person!

Ice Cream tulip perfection! Bulbs from Spring Hill Nursery. 

Double ruffled yellow tulips!

If I plant an additional 1,400(ish) bulbs each year then by 2045 I should have everything synched up and perfect!

The Lily of the Valley patch is a little aggressive...  

Iris, seeding, grapes, bleeding heart, and lots of hostas coming up in the East Gardens. 

The peonies are coming up all over!
