Thank you squirrels

I never planted these tulips. They just appeared in my flowerbed about 4 years ago. They are thanks to my neighbor down the road and the squirrels.

My neighbor lives down the road about ¼ a mile and has hundreds of gorgeous yellow tulips. She also has a few of these pink ones. I think it is so incredible that they are now in my garden.

They are not in the ideal place in my garden because they are next to the paver wall. I have no plans on moving them because I figured they were planted there for a reason. These are the first tulips to bloom in my gardens and I have truly enjoyed them.



Sorry, I had to include these photos of ferns. I just love to take them.
Today is Fertilizer Fridays/Flaunt Your Flowers, thanks to Tootsie Time. Please check out the others here.

Who knew squirrels were so good at planting bulbs? I only find peanuts in my yard.
I love the pictures of the ferns.

Exactly why I don't plant tulips. The squirrels take all the bulbs to the neighbor's yard, but never bring any back to mine. I'd be so pleased to find a surprise like this. Pretty, pretty! Fabulous fern pictures. I have ferns in my garden that came from my mother's yard. I luv them so much.

How cool, that you have tulips planted by squirrels! Those fern photos are awesome! You should print and frame them.
