We lived in Tyler, Texas for 5 years, where they have the most beautiful azaleas and tulips in the spring. So, one year, I planted tulips…..they came up rather hesitantly, greened up nicely, then most refused to bloom. I was cr0o#ed̷u;..lsl&h8230;..I’m now sticking with what I know best. Evergreen vines, marigolds, periwinkles, geraniums and morning glories.
