I have tried a couple of species tulips here over the years, humilis,
linifolia and kaufmania. They always get the dwindles and disappear over the
course of several years. A fresh planting of humilis has been in full bloom
the past week, a planting several years old has but one bulb left, also in
bloom. Just 90 miles north of New
York City, we can get the best of both worlds, a mix of continental and
maritime climates.
For those in this neck of the woods, a fantastic display of daffodils will
be reaching it's peak over the next couple of weeks. It is located in
Litchfield, on Wigwam Road off of Route 254. There are hundreds of thousands
of naturalized narcissus in a spectacular setting, meadows, woods, a small
island in a lake, all visible from the road but with several trails through
the plantings.
