Flowers inside and outside..

The Black tulips are really black now, from the red they started as...

The Black Tulips....

Remember the January Picture of them just popping the heads out of the soil?

I have watched them grow along side the Christmas trees I put outside and hoped would survive....

 

well look at them now

 As they were growing I could see little tips of a pinky red/purple but they are going blacker the longer they are out and the mini trees are covered in new growth too...

 I'm so pleased I haven't killed them or the Christmas trees...I wonder how big the Trees will be for next Christmas?
