There are red tulips bordering both sides of the steps.
Close up of the tulips. (The photo is really blown out, but it's a nice red in person.)
These are some different daffodils that I planted in the Fall. These are so adorable. There are 4 flower heads on one stem.
This daffodil has a double row of petals in two shades of yellow.
This is a peach colored daffodil which also has double sets of petals in two shades of peach. The flower head is a lot larger than the yellow ones too.
I spent a lot of time planning out my flowers so that there would be something blooming each month. The tulips and daffodils comes first. So do the muscari and our cherry blossom. Next fall, I may plant some crocus which can pop up even when there is still frost on the ground. I also picked out late blooming tulips (pink and sorbet colored ones) which will bloom soon, but last longer than the red ones. The irises and peonies are beginning to grow tall. They will bloom in about 3-4 weeks. So will the roses and dogwood tree. The day lilies will bloom all throughout the summer with a second showing on the roses. I divided my one cluster of day lilies into 8 bunches! Yes, EIGHT! I potted them and temporarily placed them where I plan on planting them. I also worked on the veggie beds in the back yard.
How did you spend your weekend?

I love that peach daffodil! I've never seen those before.
I love your red door. We were going to paint ours red but then painted our walkway red so we're going with charcoal.
