As promised.
Not quite what I was expecting but beautiful all the same.
These cute orange tulips are ballerina and quite dainty.
I like to peer into their centres which are just as magical as their outers.
These tulips are from the top :
ballerina
negrita
queen of the night
(my favourite tulip)
this week so far I have:
built another cold frame
moved lots of plants around the garden
(it's my fortay)
sowed parsnips, beetroot, broccoli, radish and sprouts
transplanted 15 lupin seedlings and 18 echinacea
eaten the first rhubarb of the year
cycled to my brothers allotment and weeded
spent more time outside than in
and most importantly sent out some parcels!
I'm a bit ahead of myself this week it must be all this sun making me happy.
So I'm going give you all friday off
and wish you all a sunny weekend!!

Love your shots, but most of all I love your Tulips!
Its arrived!!! Your makes are absolutely beautiful. I love them. Thank you so much Clare. The tulips are stunning too!!!
Very pretty tulips. Wow you have gotten a lot done, I am bursting at the seems waiting for the weather to be consistently nice enough to plant.
I love those Queen of the Night tulips. I planted them in my garden in England but here, in France,my tulips don't do well. I think it's too hot, too early for them. They come up stunted or the buds die before the flowers open...
Those tulips are wonderful. I too like to see inside flowers they are little works of art. You have certainly been busy, I feel rather lazy now!!
I love your dark tulip best too. It looks like velvet! I think the weekend is meant to be good weather wise so I think we will both be out in the garden!
Those purple tulips are just stunning.
What a busy girl you've been!
And your gifts to Diane are very, very, lovely. You have so many talents.

Gorgeous pictures, the garden is looking lovely!
Love Lou xxx
Sounds a fabulous way to spend the week. I wish I was a gardener as I like the idea, but not so good at the reality.
Enjoy the weekend.

Wow - you've been busy!
When I left for the UK I thought I was going to hate the pointy tulips that were opening up in our garden, but now I'm back and they're in full bloom I think they look wonderful! They're white, and planted amidst bright pink ones with the conventional shape petal they look fantastic.
love the tulips, my "queen of the night" arn't quite out yet. Can't wait. Gill(dosie Rosie)
Stunningly beautiful photos Clare. I'm going to go out THIS WEEKEND and get some tulip bulbs to plant for next spring. It's perfect planting time here. I love your colours, they are amazing. By the way your blog is looking so pretty (I read it in RSS feeds) love all the wee touches!
Wow, busy week. Those tulip photos are stunning!

The Ballerina looks great with the Negrita! However much I love them I don't plant tulips in my borders, as I would be forever digging up the bulbs. I just have in containers instead. I have been really busy in my garden too. Gardening is certainly a labour of love! x
