I was about to give up on the orange tulips I planted last fall. I thought Menards sold me some duds. But I was wrong. The orange tulips are just blooming now, a month later than the purple ones I planted. They may be late but they sure are pretty. I did some weeding today now that the ground was softened by almost two inches of rain on Saturday. I uncovered some wildlife-angleworms, green shiny beetles, ants, and cutworms. The cutworms were launched into space from the garden and landed in the prairie part of the yard. For a cutworm, a 15 foot trip must seem like a very long commute.

5 of the tulips you planted in my garden bloomed, but the squirrels pulled all the petals off. What weirdos! They were pretty while they lasted. Thanks!
You are welcome. I love planting tulips. I think it's the six months of delayed gratification that appeals to me.
