The work I did this past fall putting in a bunch of bulbs is paying off, in spades. The crocuses have been lovely for the past couple of weeks, and they've literally faded overnight to be replaced by adorable, tiny little specie tulips. (Clusiana 'Lady Jane', pictured here.) The Red Cubed bed is going great guns, though the other mix I planted out front looks like it's going to have more of the small white tulips than anything else.

Seattle has been washed with rain, our annual spring blessing making puddles in the streets. Soon, I think, we might get some actual spring weather. I am so darned ready!
