Three pink flowers began blooming in the garden today. The first tulip flower of the season opened. The tulips I grow are not hybrids, they are species tulips, the original varieties from which the modern fancy hybrids were developed. This is Tulipa bakeri "Lilac Wonder." The species tulips are better suited to the wild sort of garden I cultivate, which is not to say I don't appreciate the hybrids as well, but I've come to like the species tulips very much. Also blooming today are creeping phlox and the dwarf nectarine--looking very similar to the dwarf peach but in a paler shade of pink.
