I NEVER confess to this appalling total!)<BR/><BR/>I love rogues. We always remember the lonely sunflower (solo by the side of the road on a holiday in France some 6 years ago), but am currently intrigued by a lone daffodil in the hedgerow up the lane from us .... lone plants grown from seed I can understand , but how did a daffodil bulb migrate half a mile up the lane and then settle under the hedge???gilliehttp://skybluepink.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12910213.post-20456069249779574652008-05-01T17:38:00.000+01:002008-05-01T17:38:00.000+01:00Beautiful!

But I don't know about the other one - I have no memory of planting it, and there's only one. Perhaps a present from the birds/squirrels, although the mind boggles a little.<BR/><BR/>Yes, I am passionate about tulips, especially the species tulips, the national collection of species tulips is at Cambridge, and well worth a look, although probably going over a little by now, as your spring is always ahead of ours by about two weeks.<BR/><BR/>And there's a couple of rogue red tulips that grow beside by very bright blue Rosemary fota - a combination that also always makes me smile.<BR/><BR/>I'm afraid in my case it is an obsession<BR/><BR/>JoannaJoannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06790888857849562408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12910213.post-13027994645261541092008-04-30T08:39:00.000+01:002008-04-30T08:39:00.000+01:00I love tulips more and more - especially the ones that look as if they've been picked from a Dutch still life.<BR/>There's a roundabout in Cambridge planted with a pastel pink and yellow theme in tulips and polyanthus - but it's the two rogue red tulips that make me smile! <BR/><BR/>CeliaMagic Cochinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12776686088752602321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12910213.post-4637686902893398332008-04-29T17:44:00.000+01:002008-04-29T17:44:00.000+01:00Queen of the night?
