Purple Tulips


These were my purple tulips from last year. I found these pictures in my archives by accident, and I just love their color. These purple tulips didn't come back this year, since the squirrels dug up the bulb and ate them.


At first I didn't understand why my garden was full of holes, and bulbs were showing on top of the soil. Then I finally saw with my own eyes how the squirrels had rearranged my garden to their liking.


They ate my purple and yellow tulip bulbs so now there were none left this year! Though the squirrels were destructive, they also did some magic to the rest of the bulbs. Red tulips became redder, and white tulips looked very creamy!

Enjoy other entries at Today Flowers, and Mosaic Monday!

I quite like the concept of gardening squirrels redesigning the garden. :)

Lovely flowers.

Pretty tulips. I have a hard time with them coming back too. Not sure if its squirrels or rain.

Love the colour of your tulips. I have a real squirrel problem with mine too.
Good thing you photographed them last year for the memory.

Oh, Icy these are splendid. The color is gorgeous and great mosaic as well. BTW, I love the new header too.

I love their color too! And the pollen speckled in their centers. :)

I like how your mosaic has three smaller pictures floating on a big one. Very Creative!

Beautiful purple tulips. The squirrels must find the bulbs of these very tasty.

I have to agree with Jayne, I kind of like the idea of squirrels redesigning my garden.

Wonderful tulips, BAD squirrels! Hope they leave you alone this year. Thanks so much for sharing. :)
