Here is the first picture of my Orange Angelique Tulips. I really love the color...not quite orange, but a beautiful shade of peach. I hope that they come back again next year. Our Angeliques at Mary's Garden are back for the third year...they are a blush color. I'll take more pictures today...it's supposed to be a beautiful day. The morning is already...newly mown lawn...a carpet of bright green grass..newly mulched beds...no weeds showing...newly weeded woods border...buckets of weeds and a sore right arm to prove it. I have some plants just waiting to be planted in the yard. I put them in my lawn cart and roll them in and out of the garage daily. I have a Mandevilla from last year that was just screaming to get outside, a dark maroon begonia, some Dipledenia plants..one with a couple of buds, my cactus collection for the front porch, and of course my Amaryllis bulbs waiting for their summer home. I'm going to wait a bit before I put these plants in the garden. I hope that our warm weather is here to stay, but you never know.
A report on the robin nest in the wreath. Four bright blue eggs and mama and papa are flying back and forth when we open the door. I just tell them that they are living here..rent free...this is my porch and we have to share.
Hope that your weather is as nice as it is here today.

I love your tulips too, Balisha. The squirrels got mine too.
I will have to replant this fall.
Your tulips are so pretty Balisha. I hope this warm up we are getting stays also. I want to start hardening off some of plants. Have a wonderful weekend and Happy Mothers Day.
What progress you have made already! Wish I were that far along on everything. I like those orange Angelique tulips! A friend gave me a bouquet of the pink ones a few years ago. Oh, how pretty they were. The peach color would go well with the color of our house (the stone). Maybe someday I will get up enough umph to put some in, but don't hold your breath. Until then, I will just look at yours :)
Tulips....I just love them.
Hey, you might think about starting a weekly or monthly meme about how we save money. That's a great idea you had.

Very pretty tulips...almost like a rose!
I love your orange tulips. I am an "orange" lover.
It is not all that warm here -- in the 50's.
I saved a Mandevilla vine in my basement and it has some green shoots, so I am thrilled! I can't bring mine out until the end of May.
Happy Mother's Day weekend, Balisha.
Beautiful
Have a good day
It is going to be
warm and sunny
by my woods...
