The first tulips are showing up, little guys that are closer to the original species than the big bright hybrids. Supposedly, they’re more robust, and here’s a couple that have worked for me. Like for instance these little pink and white ones here. It’s been a while since I planted them and left them to duke it out against the weeds. They’re holding their ground, even sending up a couple more as time passes. Trouble is, it’s so long, I’m not entirely sure of the name.

This one I am sure about the name. The clusters of orange-red flowers pop up in little fusillades every year.
More to come.
