Cotoneaster with tulips

I planted a "million" tulip bulbs and the ground squirrels got 999,999 of them and on top of that the one they left never bloomed!

That was hard Gardengnome. We don't get squirrels in our garden so the bulbs are safe from them. My sister has a problem with them in UK.

Aw well when I plant more this year, I'll take measures (chicken wire over the site) to keep a few for myself. No measure is actually squirrel proof but this one will leave me with a few more bulbs.
