I literally wait all year for this.
The two to three weeks that my pink tulips are in bloom! As with most of the past 8 years, they bloom just in time for Mother’s Day. I sneaked in a few shots of the pink tulips that are in the backyard (first year for those), but overall this is the front and side of our home. I noticed that the tulips appear lighter or darker in some photos…this is just based on the light and time of day I took the photo.
The tulips in the front are called Menton. The smaller ones in the back are called Angelique. Enjoy….the pretty pink tulips!
We plant over a 1000 bulbs each year. If you are considering tulips for your garden, I encourage you to plant more than you think and to plant them in clusters, not in a row.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the women who are nuturing the coming generations, in the weeds of parenting or enjoying an empty nest and the fruits of their efforts! These flowers are for you!
Your tulips are stunning and how nice that they bloom in time for Mother’s Day! Happy Mother’s Day to you!

My Mother gave me a beautiful card with this quote which is on my inspiration board -“When the world wearies, and society ceases to satisfy, there is always the Garden.” -Minnie Aumonier. Your garden is pure satisfaction! Thank-you for sharing!
