That dark purple tulip is going to be awesome.

I tried to paint a primarily white flower 😅

Nectarines, plums and cherry blossoms 🌸🌸🌸

The parrot tulips were a fast new addition. I *think* that might be a purple anemone that I planted two seasons ago 😅. The daffodils are coming in, some hyacinths have missed the cull, snowdrops are getting after it and I've got some new, purple fritillaria getting ready to bloom 😍. #tulipwatch2025

Something keeps eating the hyacinths 😝 #tulipwatch2025

First tulip bud 😁! Plus, some new hyacinth beating out the snowbells in being first to show. #tulipwatch2025

Orange tree getting busy in the orangery.

Probably starting this a bit early, but, well, *all this* could use a tiny distraction. #tulipwatch2025

Mountain was out this morning 😁

Ugh, bird came out wonky. Poor wonky cormorant.
