What
happens when you combine fruit trees with tulips? The very moment the fruit
trees start to blossom, a magical atmosphere is created.
I love
fruit trees a lot. There are four of them in my garden. The plum tree always flowers
first. The blossom is white. I have planted early tulips underneath the plum
tree. My favourite tulip is Flaming Purissima. This large strong tulip flowers
in different colour gradations. From creamy white to pink. It is a reliable tulip.
The pear
tree flowers the following week. This tree is situated at the street side. As
soon as the tree is in flower, people stop to take pictures of it. I understand
that, because it is beautiful. In order to give the photo something extra for
the photographers, I have planted a colourful mix of tulips underneath. A nice
colourful bang against our white house.
Finally it
is the turn of the apple trees. They are blooming at this very moment. Apple
tree blossoms create a fairy-tale atmosphere transform in the backyard. The
pink blossom eventually fade into white. I have chosen late flowering tulips
under this white blossom. Soft pink: Tulip ‘Rosalie’, strong pink: Tulip ‘Barcelona’,
salmon: Tulip ‘Dordogne’, and to give the whole combination some depth the
black tulip, ‘Queen of Night’.
These colours
seem to come from an ice cream parlour. Mmmm sorbet ice cream! Strawberry,
raspberry, orange and blueberry. It is mouth-watering. The apple blossom is the
whipped cream on my fantasy ice cream.
Whipped cream
..... as much as you would like. You will not gain weight!
Beautiful blossoms!

Dear Hetty,
ReplyDeleteyour garden looks magical! The colour combinations are lovely. I love the blossoms of fruit trees. I have an apricot tree in my garden, planted by my parents many years ago. As I wanted to have some more fruit trees in my garden I planted an espalier pear tree about a month ago. I also planted a pomegranate tree/bush.
Enjoy spring!
Best wishes,
Lisa
