Tulips

In reading posts, I realized that the Tulipa clusiana seed pods I had
last year were much less common that I thought. Next time, perhaps
even this summer, if any of my tulip patches set seed, I'll save them
for the seed exchange. Meanwhile, T. turkestanica, clusiana, clusiana
chrysantha, tarda and sylvestris are all in flower, along with a few
standards that the deer managed not to eat this year.

We are enjoying our first actually warm and sunny day, on the Pacific
Northwest coast, where I'm heading out to weed gorse plants before
they set seed, an annual chore in older yards along the ocean in the
sand dunes.
