TULIPS!!!.....and a Happy Easter

Happy Easter Everyone!!
And Happy Passover!


I was wandering through Kroger the other day returning a RedBox movie
When I came across the floral department....
I love Tulips but they tend to be costly and they sure wilt fast...
So I never buy them.....

Until I saw this.....How Clever!!
You get the Tulips.....A Vase....and the Bulbs!!
All for $12.99

Now if I can just get up the initiative to actually read what to do with the Bulbs....
As in when to Plant them.....

Next year I should have these growing in the yard.....

They have ruffled edges.....

in red and yellow!

They need to sell more plants this way......Don't you think?

Sue: What a beautiful way to sell the flowers. You are right, I paid $11 at Costco for tulips and they didn't last very long. Although I got stock there for $8 and they seem to be better, but I love those you got. Happy Easter to you and your family..Judy

When my daughter was doing wedding flowers, she would stick a pin through the very top of the tulip stem right below the bloom. That is supposed to be a trick to help them last longer.

Very pretty. I would plant them in the fall - they need to be in the ground over the "winter" in order to bloom. Just watch for the bunnies - they love tulips.

I bought some tulips at Kroger the other day, too, but not those. Just the ones that wilt and die. I hope you can figure out what to do with those. I planted tulip bulbs one year and the green stalks came up, but only one bloomed. Bummer.

Sue,
Your tulips are gorgeous. I wish we had a Kroger's.
Unfortunately, I don't think your bulbs will fare well in Georgia heat.
I found this site which will explain why:

Tulips have to be one of my favourite flowers Sue!

I have been buying quite a few bunches this Spring now - and have even learnt to love them when they wilt and hang.

Hope you had a great Easter ;-) x

I love the yellow and pink tulips and have some in my garden. I love the way those have been sold - double the pleasure.

Last week we went over to the nurseries on the North Fork to scope out plants as centerpieces for gson's First Communion. They had large pots of blooming tulips and daffodills for a dollar! I took 10 daffs, but one tulip, ruffled like yours, red and yellow. The deer eat the tulips, but leave the daffs alone. But for a buck,I got a beautiful centerpiece! I'll still plant it, but unless I stand guard with a shotgun,I know they will devour it!
I have never seen tulips sold like that, great idea!

Daughter got a call on Wednesday at 4:00 a.m. from our home town Police Force..... It seems the "Big Boss" called them after seeing women in his closet and a dead man hanging from his Ceiling Fan.... Only Problem.......He doesn't have any ceiling fans in his house... Daughter...... having to make the decision what to do with him.....since we were home in Georgia sound asleep....and unable to hear even a bomb go off... Had the police take him to the local hospital...... Now the BB is heading towards 90 in a few months.... He lives alone and still drives.... We have been trying to get him into an Assisted Living Home for the past three years... He refused to budge.... He refused to let anyone into the house.. We also tried to get him to give up his license....to no avail.... The sad part is we could not get anyone to assist us... His doctor told us years ago that he was a grown man and we couldn't tell him what to do.... So back to the ER this Wednesday he was checked ...

TIME OUT..........................

In the best interest of my left hand I find it necessary to take a short break from blogging.......that nasty staph infection has refused to go away and with no signs of it improving I need to stop using the computer......every time I go online to type the finger resembles W.C. Fields nose.....not a good thing.....I hope I can return soon and catch up with my Weekends in Paris....but in the meantime...remember.....Don't garden without gloves!! See you all soon.....
