GRRRRR.

I ordered parrots from the Wayside Gardens online catalog.  Ten minutes after my order, Wayside took parrot tulips out of their catalog, because they never had them in stock and weren't going to be getting any from their growers.

Needless to say, I was very bitter.

True, but the whole thing was a disaster from the outset, so I just gave up.  It’s not really as if I don’t have plenty of stuff to put in the garden anyway.

Wow. It looks like Wayside have really gone downhill. The last time I heard of them (easily 15 years ago) they were a high-quality operation.

And I didn't even talk about how long it took for them to get me the giant callas.  I ordered them in October for fall shipping, and I didn't get them until the end of February…

Apparently a number of complaints have been made to the BBB.  I have decided that no matter what tantalizing plant candy they offer me, I will never do business with them again.

Am I sure? No. I probably just haven't met the right tulip yet.

Very nice. And from a practial standpoint, I particularly like how you are getting good mileage out of these before they are even out. Good investment last year, Bill.

Either way, these two tulip shots are damned good!

Brilliant!

I am curious, though, what it would become if the cropping were tighter and removed the negative space in the bottom corners...

Love this one. Color, composition, image. Sends a lot of messages.

Thanks. I even find the texture delicious, the softness in some areas and the slick waxiness in others.
