I love TULIPS.
Absolutely love them!
When we first moved in, I planted over 300 in my yard.
They were AWESOME the first year they came up.
The next year, MOST of them had died?!?
I was so bummed...and then I thought about planting more that fall,
and I didn't, because I had Brooklyn.
Then the next fall, Brian planted a few more.
They were ok, but I knew I wanted more.
We kinda slacked the following year, because I had Brison.
BUT, last fall, Brian planted a bunch more.
(not sure how many)
But I was loving my yard and all the tulips!
I went around on Monday taking pictures of the flowers...
I realize these aren't tulips...sorry.
But they are pretty don't ya think?
The LONE pink tulip in our bag of Red, Yellow and Red/Yellow tulips!
This is my favorite, when they are closed like this!
Brian was so excited about his yard, and the way the flowers were looking
that on sunday, he invited his parents over for Wednesday
for dinner so they could see all his hard work.
I was busily preparing dinner and playing with my nieces
when this happened!
That 3 minute hail storm has single-handedly
DESTROYED
ALL
MY
TULIPS!
His parents still came up for dinner,
and they walked around accessing the damage!
It's a good thing I still have a patch in the back yard
that hasn't begun to bloom yet.
It's so not fair!

They look beautiful :) I'm sure they will still come back next Spring now that you have them well established. That Hail really made me wonder about how crazy Utah weather is. Nuts.
Your poor tulips! I guess the Hail was just a little attention getter! Hope it's done!
Your yard is still beautiful. In fact, I think its the prettiest, nicest, best looking one on the block. I can't tell you how many times I have said to my family, "I want my yard to look like the Davies!" I love the smile it gives me everytime I drive out of the neighborhood.
