Eremurus

The day is all mine. Nothing I must do, although I will certainly get to some chores. So far using it to sleep in and be a cat bed, and generally dither.


Very tempted last night to write back to my brother and check on him, but I stopped myself.

Yeah, this describes my kin precisely. Let it drift away, none of it is to be trusted. Compost it.




This is the back of bulbs I put in. Tulipa 'Red Emperor' (Fosteriana Tulip)



The Eremurus is sent for

The Red Emperor is my favorite of the shorter tulips, probably because my grandma had huge beds of them around the front of her house. (Also like the black one, though I can't remember its name.)

Looking forward to next spring when you garden blooms again. (I garden vicariously through the efforts of others, it seems.)

Crow,

Well, it is easier that way :). I love the bright color and the odd shape. I hope they like living here.

Captain Awkward got that right.
I love the short early tulips...a bright red shout to keep us going until spring proper arrives

gz,

To vie with the irises and poppies. Let 'em fight it out! Best bloom wins!
