Sep 19, 2005 6:59:16 PM Archived Entry: "Gardening plans for this fall: freaky tulips ahoy!"

I've picked my tulips out for the year. From "Old House Gardens," I've chosen T. acuminata, Willem van Oranje, and my splurge, Insulinde (as well as a bunch of double hyacinths to give to someone as a gift, as mine are now naturalizing nicely). Tomorrow I'll get in my order to Van Engelen, which will be:
Species: Tulipa vvedenskyi, a.k.a.Tangerine Beauty (8', mid-May so a very late bloomer: 50)
Early: Flair (orange, 14")
Darwin: Silverstream (yellow and rose, 24")
Late: Single Pastel Mixture (which will bloom not as prettily as a single type but last much longer)
