Daffodils come into their own in Sue's garden in the first week of February, tulips will follow and try and out-do the early rising bulbs. Many are planted, but few are brought to full bloom - is it 'bad seed' or is it the dastardly work of the squirrel pack that is always rooting around in our yard and taking the bulbs and the pecans?
Sue got a couple of showy blooms from her tulip effort this winter, with the tulips first blooming in a bright yellow, then transforming over the succeeding days into the low frequency end of the visible light spectrum; going from the first blush of yellow and then into oranges that deepen, approaching a red-persimmon before the petals fall to the ground.
A splash of color around our front porch, well worth the effort.
