I think if I have some varieties beyond the generic ones that I may like them more.<br /><br />@ ~M~ I'll check out your blog after I leave this comment. You know, it is recommended that you amend the soil and add fertilizer to the area you're planting bulbs in but I've never done it and so far have had great luck with mine.<br /><br />I'd leave them alone until they are done blooming and when you see the leaves start to turn brown you can probably safely move them.<br /><br />@Jodi LOL, you know I've been seeing a lot of species tulips this year and I've told myself I have to plant some. Hope I remember in the fall.<br /><br />@Rosemarie, That's where all of my spring bulbs usually come from. With the exception of the "black" flowers. It is cheap and you get so many for the price.<br /><br />@Chicago office Space.

I will post a picture of them up on my blog today (later this afternoon pac. time). I was wondering if there was any certain thing you are supposed to do special for tulip bulbs? My mother-In-Law had two random tulips come up a few inches away from where the rain drips off her roof and they look gorgeous! Mine, not so nice....<br /><br />I also was wondering when is the best time to dig them up and move them? After they've gone there stuff for the spring? <br /><br />Your tulips are really really nice, I too am not a major fan of daffodils. I don' t know why, they're generally some of the first bulbs out in the spring and bring sunny smile with them. I just don't care for them. <br /><br />Oh, I too am curious how you blur the background of your pictures. It is a very stunning effect! <br /><br />Thank you for sharing such wonderful spring picture, good luck with the Chicago Spring Fling! I bet it is going to be a blast!<br /><br />~M~~M~https://www.blogger.com/profile/05861793579647015837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-15515828338942667762009-05-11T14:57:00.000-05:002009-05-11T14:57:00.000-05:00Hi, I am a new follower of your blog and but I am ...Hi, I am a new follower of your blog and but I am sure that flowers in Edinburgh are prety much the same as in Chicago!

Your cacti must look awesome. I'm about to stop by your blog for a long overdue visit.<br /><br />@Marcy, Thanks for the warm welcome.<br /><br />@OhioMom, There is a setting on the camera that I use that sort of does it too. I'll have to see if I can do it on a camera that doesn't do it "automatically" and get back to you.<br /><br />@Entangled, I guess it is a good thing I don't have rabbits around here because I don't think I'd like to have more daffs like you and Monica do. <br /><br />@Moon, Thanks for sharing thats story from your childhood. When I was a kid we didn't have wild violets around here--they just sort of popped up in the last few years. <br /><br />@Walk2Write, if you want I'll send you some of those violets :0)<br /><br />@Stephanie, I'd love to get my Desert Rose to bloom.

Fortunately, my Desert Rose loves the heat. The plant is blooming a number beautiful pink flowers now :-) Your tulips are beautiful also. So is the daffodils. Looks like your work with Chicago Now will be an exciting one. The video is super. And your ladybug is obviously a shinning star.

I do have a lemon and orange tree that makes me very popular in the neighborhood. <br /><br />What I loved in your garden is your violets. My grandmother lived in Indiana and in the spring had wild violets and lily of the valley in her back yard. Us kids would pick them and she'd put them in a jelly glass on the table for Sunday dinner.
