OT - Tulip beds
Jane, your tulip garden bed sounds so pretty! Hope all the tulip colors
bloom at once for you. I'd love to see the website you mentioned about tulip bulbs too! Please post it for all - even though they aren't roses! I can't grow tulips well here in Santa Barbara; winters are just too warm, and thrips seem to get the ones I refrigerate and pot up. Report: Here in SoCal we're having beautiful sunny Spring weather! There's healthy growth on all but one of my roses, and 4 plants have actually begun blooming! The first was a gorgeous bloom on First Prize, followed by Roundelay, climbing Tempo and Ingrid Bergman, with breaking buds on New Day and Ambassador. The rest are putting on buds, but slowly, oh, so slowly! Late pruning is its own negative reward! Sue in SoCal "Jane" wrote in message t... Thank you for the feedback, Jane. Any new photos yet this year, or is it too early? No pictures yet but I'll be in tulips up to my knees soon! I wanted something to fill up the blank bed behind my summer kitchen while I'm waiting for some hardscape work to be completed... I planted a them in a grid pattern of high contrast tall eggplantish coloured ones with slightly shorter salmony pinkish ones, then later softish peachy ones that are slightly shorter emerge...I'm excited to see the interplay of heights and colours. I'll send you a picture if it works! I want to send you a website about patterning with bulbs. Have a great day! Jane |

Thanks Susan,
I've loved the catalogues they send each fall. http://www.colorblends.com/ Maybe there are some bulbs like tuberoses that would thrive where you are. Mmmm.Fragrant! Cold front came through and now it's rainy and grey. Wish I was where you are right now. Congratulations on the vitality and beauty of your roses! How beautiful they must be in Santa Barbara! I'd love to see them...do you have any pictures? Thanks, Jane "Susan Solomon" wrote in message news Jane, your tulip garden bed sounds so pretty! Hope all the tulip colors bloom at once for you.

Hi Jane
Thanks for giving us the bulb website. I can see why you're enthusiastic about the tulip color blends. Wow! And yes, tuberoses grow here; as a matter of fact, a friend gave me a pot of them for Christmas. No pictures of my roses in their new garden bed yet ... too soon. Quite a few of them were bare-root just a few weeks ago! But later in the year... Happy growing! Sue in SoCal "Jane" wrote in message t...
