Ce...Neal, thanks, as always, for your good wishes.<br /><br />Cecelia, I'm afraid your tulips won't bloom again. The hybrid bulbs have a <I>very</I> short lifespan. Many people don't even get two years out of them!<br /><br />Try daffodils. Not only will they bloom year after year after year, they will actually multiply. They come in different sizes and shapes, and you can find very pale yellow-whites and shell pinks if you don't like bright yellow. Also, the different varieties bloom at different times. Best of all (at least in my neighborhood), deer will not eat them and squirrels will not dig them up, as happens with tulips.Brenda Coulterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13528691681455659296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9791523.post-56253357626572784662009-04-15T14:10:00.000-04:002009-04-15T14:10:00.000-04:00Ahh. Hope you feel better soon! Springtime flowers...Ahh. Hope you feel better soon! Springtime flowers! Ya know, I commented on another author's blog about this subject! I have some tulip bulbs I planted a few years ago. The first year, they bloomed, but the last two years, the leaves came up, but there are no flowers! Why in the world do I get leaves without flowers? My mom says I have bad soil and need to put some plant food and nourishment into that soil. Hopefully, the tulips will bloom next year!<br /><br />Oh, BTW, I like strawberry ice cream, but it's not my favorite! I prefer cookies and cream or cookie dough ice cream! ;-)Cecelia Dowdyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07173806883218875753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9791523.post-38547063572537675942009-04-15T04:00:00.000-04:002009-04-15T04:00:00.000-04:00Get well soon Brenda.Get well soon Brenda.Nealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05883276927180980793noreply@blogger.com
