Some of my neighbors have ooh-ed and aah-ed over them, so maybe I'll try some more for next year.<br /><br />Ellie, you must be "up north". Here, it seems spring came and went overnight. It's 80+ and definitely A/C weather already!Lya Soranohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16677200360169732962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942145457163862596.post-57861127212668137992010-04-10T15:49:38.552-04:002010-04-10T15:49:38.552-04:00Those tulips sure look good!

You are lucky to have your tulips now, I have another three week wait for mine. Colour by the way of 'black' plants is affected by soil, the amount of light and many other factors.
