I like! The colors in those tulips are so, so pretty. Do they return from one year to the next, or do you have to plant tulips every year, like we do?

@Bookfool: Me, too! I love the traditional reds and pinks, but this orange/yellow just knocks my socks off. And, yes, they return every year. That is the ones that the squirrels decide to ignore. I have a dozen or so under the tree in the front yard and this year the squirrels ate every single one as they poked up through the dirt (the tulip leaves - not the squirrels!). At least I think it's those rascals. Could be rabbits. Grrrrr.
