Tulipa Fosteriana

Apparently this is commonly called the Emperor Tulip and it appears annually in my garden. Truly a dramatically coloured and lovely thing.

In other news...

I’ve put my first additional image up. Something I don’t think can be done using the app. We let our Horsefield tortoise Rainbow Sparkles out into the garden for a taste of things to come. Jade thought I had finally snapped and had become best friends with Rainbow.

The decision of where Rainbows external enclosure will be is nearly made but I’m just going to check a detail or two with a tortoise expert and assuming I get the right answers then hopefully work will begin.

With a large amount of lawns to mow (11,500m2) from now on until October/November my thoughts have turned to the latest generation of robot mowers (as they do annually).
