Tulip Surprise



If you know me at all, you know that I'm always looking for give-aways. Naperville always has beautiful tulip beds up and down every street of the downtown area. Last year I happened by on the day that they were digging them out and throwing them into a garbage truck. By chance, I had a couple of garbage bags in the back of the car and they said I was welcome to take whatever I wanted. The blooms were gone by then, so I had no idea what I was getting, but I filled my bags and planted them around the two trees in the front yard. Surprise! Not bad for "free."
