My first tulip!
I was very excited this morning when I wandered out onto the balcony, and saw this!!
I have always loved tulips, and this year I thought I’d try to grow some for the first time. And, it seems I have been successful! I was so excited that I ran inside and got Nick out of bed, saying I had to show him something… and when he saw it he said “yes, it’s lovely, I saw it yesterday!”. Next time he’ll know to tell me when a tulip blossoms 
I’m keeping my eye on my other bulbs now - I’ve planted a number of different things in random pots, wherever there was some spare space around another plant. I can’t wait for my other tulips to flower, not to mention the daffodils, irises, and others. Something so bright and lovely is a wonderful surprise

Hi there,
I totally understand how excited you are by your tulips. I recently had my orchids flower and I can not stop looking at them and feeling very proud of what an ordinary gardener can achieve.
Thanks for your blog - very inspirational! I am going to add your blog to my Australan Blogroll.

P:S I added my flowering orchids to my blog if anyone wants to see them
