What's Fresh: March 22

The sunny skies have provided an abundance of beautiful fresh spring flowers and we have
 "Tulip Fever".



I just love to play with the "left-overs".  At the end of the bloom for a particular variety there are always a few odd tulips that I lay claim to.  Yesterday I had a bonus and put this gorgeous collection together.  Look carefully and you will find an Atilla in the center surrounded by Rai Parrots and Rococo Parrots.  There are some stray Menton, Grand Style and Red Impressions too.  What a delight to have these lush rich colors to work with.


I was out this morning photographing tulips as RT was bringing them in.  For this week we have the following:


 Big Smile


Orange Queen

Sorbet

Spring Green
bud stage

Spring Green
 very traditionally shaped in bud form and opens fully to a star-burst tulip

Grand Style
 The pinks have just started to bloom so we have limited numbers.


The Parrots are stunning.


Peach and Apricot Parrot Tulips
I can not tell the difference once they are out of the beds.


Rococo Parrot Tulips, day one


Rococo Parrot Tulips, fully open
This tulip is a painter's dream, well this painter anyway.


White Parrot Tulips


Pink, Peach and Yellow Hyacinths

Ranunculus in green and assorted spring colors.

As always, please consult email and fax for full availability.  We are making regular deliveries to Sun Valley and our good friends at Go fer-it are happy to deliver Monday through Friday from Boise to Jackson.
