It's tulip time!
I like to stick to a specific colour scheme for my tulips, which is cream and purple (all shades, from pinkish-mauve to almost black). Here are some examples.
Zurel Tulips
Two Shirleys and a Black Parrot
Jackpot!

Yes, I solved the colour scheme problem by cutting all the orange-yellow tulips and displaying them inside in a vase.

I love the Ballade Tulips.But they are all beyond beautiful.
Maybe this year I will have tulips in my yard. How do you plant them?
In rows and a deigned pattern or throw on the tulip bed or lawn and plant where they lay.
Curtis, having done this for a few years now using my own trial-and-error methods rather than following expert advice, I prefer planting in clumps rather than scattered. (If I'd gone with the expert advice to start, I probably would have ended up with clumps much sooner.)
The best thing I have learned from trial-and-error is to pay careful attention to the height information on the packaging. Some tulip varieties are taller than others and a haphazard mixture of heights is distracting, especially if you end up with a mixed clump of short and tall tulips, with the short ones in the middle.
Yours of course are stunning. I would just like to have mine blooming!
Tulips are so beautiful. And I seem to have just the same kind of designing error. Orange tulips in the midle of white and purples? I think I also solve the problem your way :)
I never tire of seeing tulips and yours are lovely. Great pictures!

My blog address has changed. To http://growthumbs.blogspot.com/ Now it's called Growing Thumbs Gardens. I have moved here for several reasons.
Happy Mothers Day!
