It works for some bulbs but they never look as glorious as when they are grown in colder climates.<br />Thank you for your visit.

Even though it's been many years, I still remember the beautiful Pousada Palacido de Queluz. In fact, I left a pair of very expensive shoes under the bed and they were kind enough to send them to me in America. <br />Thank you Maggie, for stopping by.

So colorful; I love these. (I'm in Florida, where we have floral color even this time of year, but we never ever see tulips and daffodills -- it's too hot for typical spring flowers and I miss them. So I always love seeing beautiful pictures. Memories of our past life in the Pacific Northwest (but I don't think I ever grew any as gorgeous as yours here.)Sallie (FullTime-Life)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15442598857394838271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305117665027937006.post-73399229894374714202017-01-17T08:38:32.953-07:002017-01-17T08:38:32.953-07:00Beautiful tulips, heralds of spring.
