White tulip.

Tulips don't do well in Houston - it's just too hot! and don't last very long, but I have to tip my hat to the River Oaks Garden Club for trying to grow them.

That's a real triumph!

It is! They have to be in cold storage for awhile before they can even be planted. But a part of me thinks it'd be better to leave the poor tulips alone. =)

Obviously someone doesn't mind going to all that trouble - even if they're really not suited to the environment. It does add the WOW factor to the garden though.

It does, I agree. They're a nice surprise. Well, I'm sure the River Oaks Garden Club does its best...and doesn't mind the hard work!
