I spent a lot of time on my hands and knees last fall planting bulbs and tubers. I planted tulips in the front yard:
I planted them around the cupola,
and around the womb of the earth.
I planted them in patches all over the north and south berms.
Since the tulips don’t bloom all summer long, I planted twinkles and drumsticks and kaleidoscope lilies.
And added some purple Iris to Mom’s yellow ones, just for fun.
