Tulip Fest



We went to the tulip festival a week and a half ago. It was quite wet but well worth it. It is free during the week. For once Danny and my indecision payed off. We kept putting going out to Woodburn for the festival because, well frankly, we can never make our minds up about what we are doing. At any rate by us waiting we went at the perfect time for the tulips to be blooming. We saw many that we liked and may order some. I have to say that I didn't see one quite like the one that is blooming in our yard. I am unsure of the name but it blooms from early April and is still blooming. It is very hardy. It is a dark wine red and goes nicely with the rose leaves that it is planted next to. If you haven't gone out to the tulip festival it is worth the trip.

I have not gone to the Tulip Festival. I am going to the Dahlia Festival in late August though and hope you will join me. Planted five dahlia tubers today. Eight more to go. Sterling looks like he would be real wet without the cover.
