Lone Ranger


This single red tulip makes its appearance every year. I laugh at its persistence. Once, a couple of years ago, I decided to get it out of there, and started digging. I dug down to the fossilized bottom of ancient Lake Bonneville and still had not reached the bulb. I kid you not: that tulip sends up a two-mile-long shoot every year. There it stays.

I've got some in the path in back that come up every year no matter how many bulbs I dig up. They multiply no matter what. Maybe you'll get two next year. Two lips. :-)

Looks like she got separated from her buddies across the driveway. Is she the advance scout or the straggler left behind??
