Apple blossom is covering the tree this year and it looks fabulous against the blue sky. I am a little fearful for the damage risk, posed by the forecast of cooler temperatures next week, but we cannot control the weather, can we.
We shall just have to enjoy it while we can. Another palest white with pink/ purple margins are these tulips
Named Graceland they are part of a lovely mix of tulips with so called ‘Apricot Beauty’ and ‘La Belle Époque ‘. Planted lasagne style they have not disappointed.
Close up La Belle Époque are very beautiful
Even their insides are attractive
I am so pleased with these.
I also planted a ‘scented’ mix of tulips. Surprisingly to me they actually do what they say i.e. they smell. The colours are strong and rich, the scent rather similar to freesias.
An eye catching bunch that are making me smile today. Enjoy your weekend.

Beautiful tulips; I loved La Belle Epoque too. Hope it doesn’t get as cold with you as it is here!
I think we are due night frosts and cooler days than of late. I hope your garden copes x
They are lovely. Specially the white one, Graceland. And I like the idea of scented tulips too. I hope your apple blossom doesn’t get any frost damage. The fruit farmers here have been lighting fires in the orchards or spraying the blossom with water to save their harvest.
Thanks for the.smiles – have a great Sunday!
Goodness Cathy those are drastic measures. What a worry for the farmers, stressful indeed.
Beautiful tulips, I especially like the inside shot. I must get some frgranced ones for next year. I planted some new tulips in the autumn but they haven’t openned yet. The year just seems to be running away with me. I am worried about our plum trees whicj flowered early this year.
Well I look forward to seeing your tulips when they open. Yes early blossom is a bit risky but fingers crossed, Mother Nature is kind
I always forget how beautiful apple blossom is – and against a blue sky even more so. Lovely 😊 Love the discrete pink edge to Graceeland too
Discrete is an apt description for the markings. Another lovely morning 🙂
