Fringed orange tulips put on quite the display!
Sorry for the delay posting this weeks GTS post. My Laptop is acting up … everything I do on it takes forever … it’s very slow … so, so much for uploading new photos! Arghhh! I emptied the recycle bin and I’m currently defraging the poor notebook – hopefully that helps. In the meantime … my lovely orange fringed tulips are blooming. Remember I was just obsessed with them last year? They have such an eye catching fiery color that it’s hard not to become enamored of them. These flowers are blooming in my front flower beds and they’re putting on quite the display. They’re also taller this year than last year. In fact, I think most of my tulips were quite a bit taller this year than in previous years. For example, these orange fringed tulips have a stem that’s at least 2.5 feet long. Might even be 3 feet high. Must have been all the snow cover we had over winter that did it. Here’s a close up of the top of the tulip and its fringes. Don’t the fringes almost look like teeth? You could mistake this tulip for one of those Venus Flytrap type of plants if all you saw was its fringes! I hope you’re having a great weekend. It’s cloudy and rainy here in Toronto, but it’s warmed up in the last week, although today isn’t all that warm.

A beautiful tulip that you’ve captured them so well. I’m sure passers-by are enjoying the show. And if they’re like me, taking photos for their future dream garden.

Beautiful pictures. I went to visit my brother and his family in Washington. We took a side trip to Roozengaarde, the US’s largestest Tulip grower. My wife and I were in love with the fringed-tipped tulips. I think we are going to order some and some crocus to scatter through our gardens for some early season color. We posted our picture from our trip here – http://tinyurl.com/4we4pl, there were tulips as far as the eye could see. Definitely worth the trip if you have the chance.

That is a cool tulip! I enjoy growing carnivorous plants myself and these orange fringed tulips certainly bear a bit of a resemblance to the traps of my flytraps!
