Who needs a spring garden infusion?
April 5, 2013 at 6:23 pm (This post was last modified: April 5, 2013 at 6:29 pm by Whateverist.)
I went to Filoli on Wednesday with my younger brothers, their wives and kids. This is one of those well endowed old estates with 100's of acres and a large army of caretakers. Every year they plants tens of thousands of bulbs and every fall they mulch them and replant new ones for the following spring. This isn't my favorite sort of garden to visit but it is one hell of a spectacle. For those of you not getting out much this may be just what you need.

But the tulips aren't the whole show.

Even the more rustic bits are clipped and precise.

And here is a shot of my beautiful sister-in-law with her new born.

Happy Spring everyone.

That made me feel better looking at that quality of light, especially as spring seems to have stalled here!
