I am really enjoying the tulips here this year. Sorry about the frost ~ I've been wondering if that would happen (here or elsewhere) with the wacky warm weather we've had. Even here, I have buds on my clematis (which is so much earlier than "normal") and on the peonies ~ wondering what it all means for the rest of the season?? Anyway, glad the frost didn't do much damage since things are so far along there. I can see why you'd be worried about the wisteria blooms ~ so pretty. I've never had wisteria but always admired it. Hope that's the last scare for you. Your garden looks wonderful!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702367777217796558.post-88612391345028195772012-04-15T10:36:02.877-04:002012-04-15T10:36:02.877-04:00Beautiful blooms, that China tulip is a fun shape....Beautiful blooms, that China tulip is a fun shape.

LOL<br />I am all for filling up as many plants as possible to keep a "show" going on as long as possible and you are doing a fantastic job of it .. I have roses and perennials being sent next week so I have a lot of work to do before I do my big mulch mission .<br />I totally agree with you that it is going to be a dry garden season .. so that element is very important .. one of my roses was sent way too early a few weeks ago .. I soaked it yesterday while I did other jobs in the garden .. and then planted it .. I have no idea if it will make it .. but since it was the companies fault .. if it does take .. they will be hearing from me!LOL<br />Joy : )CanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702367777217796558.post-87635636022863968762012-04-15T07:18:33.257-04:002012-04-15T07:18:33.257-04:00Your garden looks beautiful Lona, so much hard wor...Your garden looks beautiful Lona, so much hard work.
