Re: my last post: many of you had a good guess on the species tulips for the cream one. You guessed Tulipa dasystemon...but if you look closely, which Jill Selinger of the Chicago Botanic Garden did (she's a bulb expert), you would have seen the blueish foliage and recognized Tulipa turkestanica. It's an early bloomer that goes for years...just needs it well-drained and the more sun, the better. The other, red tulip, was the species clusiana, but I've forgotten the cultivar.
Now to these plant pix. Above, were some containers with perennials and annuals that should last until October....We planted them Tuesday expecting cold temps (we had a dusting of snow this morning), but I was surprised they weathered the 5 inches of torrential rains we had Wednesday & Thursday.
Below, is a Bromeliad I brought this client of many years...the astonishment there was to see that it exactly matched an ashtray of hers!

That bromeliad/ashtray is too funny!
I know: I love the synchronicity!
