Goodbye Tulips!

It is time to say goodbye to the tulips.  These things are hard for me, but it is the way of the garden, and there are so many more beautiful things to come.  Next in line are Purple Sensation Allium and Dutch Irises.
Today my friend Diantha came to help me do some weeding and mulching.  It was breezy so the black flies weren't too bad, which is to say we lasted four hours before loosing our minds and fleeing to the car.  While I am always sorry to see any of the flowers go by, I will not miss the black flies.  Begone!

My spectacular Freedom Flower bouquet of giant tulips has just started to drop its petals--and they're still beautiful! These flowers are as fresh as can be, last at least a week and will linger in memory even after they're gone. Highly recommended!
