First time I’ve grown these. Like snowdrops on steroids, and later.
An orange tulip, don’t know the variety.

Rescued tulips
There are always a lot of forced tulips around the office in winter. Most people compost them when the peter out. I rescue the pots and stick the bulbs in the ground the following fall. Most folks think that’s ridiculous, a wasted effot. But my rescued tulip patch continues to grow.
Some more rescued tulips in bud.
These were ‘store bought’.
Fritillaria, trout lily
A couple of shots from last weekend.
Daffodil open house
An annual ritual around here is the open house hosted by Nina Bassuk, woody plant specialist in the Department of Horticulture where I work, and her husband Peter Trowbridge, chair of the Landscape Architecture Department. They’ve planted something like 60,000+ daffodils over the years. And there are always some other interesting things to see at their place.
