Surprise!

Tending my garden is a little like painting the Forth Bridge; reach the end and you have to go back to the jungle at the start; and I confess that I can never remember exactly what is in it, or where it is, or when it will appear. But the great thing about that, is the element of surprise when up pops a flower I had completely forgotten; and that's what happened this week.

I knew that there was the odd tulip in various corners of the garden (mainly red), but, until they appeared, I had completely forgotten about this little cluster just at the bottom of the lawn.

What a gorgeous show of colour and a lovely surprise :)

Tulips

I've been feeling a bit washed out over the past few days. It's one of those infuriating flu type bugs which you think you are beating off, but then it suddenly jumps up and bites back. Today has definitely been a bite back day, but then a friend called round with these gorgeous tulips and brightened life up considerably. :)
