Updates - tulips showing color and clematis growing strong

Tulips are really starting to look good! So fun to see that burst of color as I turn into my little section of the complex.












Here's Palette #1, growing nicely. I have a feeling that's a bud at the tip of the stem there.

Here's Palette #2, the healthiest looking of all three Palettes.

Finally, wee little Palette #3.

Asao #1 is the tallest so far. You can't see it in this pic because a leaf is blocking it, but there is a really nice plump bud at the tip of that tall stem. I don't know how long it will take to mature and open. I can't wait to see it!

Asao #2, also looking good. 

Mme Julia Correvon. Clearly not much to see here - it's the only one that hasn't sprouted up yet and I'm starting to worry that it died. I'll give it another month or so before I decide what to do with it though.

Dr. Ruppel, still looking teeny. There are three nice strong stems coming up, though, so who knows.

Inspiration. Another one that's hiding a nice plump bud with a leaf. Is it camera shy?

And here is poor Oliver, saying, "Momma! Stop taking pictures and come feed me!"
