The flower garden continues to grow

I never posted photos of the tulips that I planted in the fall of 2005.

Here are the cream ones:



And here are the purple and white ones (which actually look more pink than purple):



The astilbe didn't grow (the seedlings all died from some kind of fungal disease which is very common for seedlings), but I bought a couple of established astilbe plants and planted them. I don't seem to have a photo of those anywhere. I also added a fern and a lily. The fern can be seen in the photo below, but I don't have a picture of the lily.

I also couldn't locate any photos of the alliums. They grew, but they weren't as spectacular as I'd hope they'd be. Oh well.

In early December of this year, I also planted multi-coloured tulips (the picture on the package shows pastel pinks, purples and yellows), on either side of the euonymous. I found that the tulips I had planted the previous year were not colourful enough. I hope these help add a little more interest to the garden!

Thanks Nazy!

I think you're the only one reading my Blog now. :)

I forgot to mention that the photos of the flowers were taken in the spring and summer of 2006, not in the middle of winter!
