it's what you see and what you dream. The reality is that much of this lot is ridiculously dry and dusty (for now). Susan and I planted last night (some chives, some sea thrift, we think they will handle it) and digging into the ground was something like being in a great dust storm of earlier times, mixed with hitting chunks of brick and cement. Not ideal, in other words. But if you crouch down in certain areas, there are all these amazing bulbs that managed to survive in this most inhospitable place and they are spectacular. I am crazy for this tulip. It is the sweetest yet tough-as-nails thing.

What is that tulips, multi stemmed? Lovely.
tu lip
Two-lips, Three-lips and more-lips!! turkestanica!! Species. (from Brent and Becky's). Isn't it fantastic? Pretty sure I spotted it last year on the High Line and maybe Sarah also had it in the rose garden at Brooklyn botanic last year. It is small, but so so lovely. Especially the way it catches the light. I hope it comes back next year.
Love that sweet/tough tulip. Thanks so much for all of your great suggestions on my blog. Really helpful.
