i’ve never seen the person who gardens next to me. i’ve met most of my other neighbors, but not this lady (apparently, it’s a lady).

this is the best picture i have of her garden at the beginning. it’s next to mine, which is just bare dirt. it doesn’t look so bad, right? but 4 months later, and it’s almost like there was never anyone there to begin with.

i don’t know if she planted bulbs and forgot to dig them up, or if they just took til spring to sprout?

i didn’t realize you could actually grow tulips here. i thought the ground had to freeze for them to sprout.

fancy!

a springtime daffodil

gorgeous irises

this is the one i’m most curious about. what is it?

edit: not 5 minutes after i posted this, liezl came through! it’s called ranunculus! what a cumbersome name for a pretty plant.
