A common plant to one is an exotic to the other. Some tulips are just starting to bloom here. There are tour groups organised here for the sole purpose of seeing the fantastic tulip displays in Holland, and Floriade Hort Expo is on this year too which is the biggest in the world and only held every 10 years.Mark and Gazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09427245730390252976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-91222338256150176252012-04-06T08:10:38.853-07:002012-04-06T08:10:38.853-07:00Nice parrots and Blumex, expecially the Blumex.

Still hoping the others I planted with it will come out soon.Plant Chaserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07932623233690291133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-84533942749056823422012-04-06T07:53:45.460-07:002012-04-06T07:53:45.460-07:00Reports say Yucca rostrata is hardy to zone 5 so y...Reports say Yucca rostrata is hardy to zone 5 so you should be able to grow it in Massachusetts. It's a great plant all around but very slow-growing.Gerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-70601789812098142412012-04-06T07:49:07.588-07:002012-04-06T07:49:07.588-07:00I guess you're right about tulips being short-...I guess you're right about tulips being short-lived. And if I could grow them with ease I might not bother. But I do love expanses of flowering tulips. <br /><br />On the other hand, I get to enjoy my clumping bamboo all year long so it's not so bad, all things considered.Gerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-86959365427296116672012-04-06T05:35:30.830-07:002012-04-06T05:35:30.830-07:00I have to have my tulips every year.

I plant them so you don't see the leaves too much because the surrounding perennials hide them.<br /><br />I am not a huge succulent fan, but I DO love that yucca rostrata - ever since you first posted about it. And what's the lowest zone it will handle? I thought that one was more cold tolerant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-62895822840404508542012-04-06T05:05:14.749-07:002012-04-06T05:05:14.749-07:00Some nice ones here -- I'm strangely attracted...Some nice ones here -- I'm strangely attracted to the Blumex. Tulips are nice for a week or two, but then they're just foliage (until they're not). <br /><br />I'm still glad I planted some last year finally, but I've never lamented not having them. I'll trade you the ability to grow tulips for the ability to grow the big clumping bamboos! :-)Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13393082652312828458noreply@blogger.com
