Everyone wants to see the black tulips, but they refuse to open.

Soon, I hope, but the sub-freezing nights have kept them from developing. It’s supposed to warm up considerably over the next few days. I’ll keep you posted.

The black tulips are a mix of Queen of Night (single) and Black Hero (double). They’re mixed with Ice Princess for contrast. Aren’t the names great – Queen, Princess and Hero.

Other tulips are doing just fine, and the azaleas are determined to compensate for any other floral inadequacies all by themselves.

Welcome!

I’ve been doing stuff with string for quite some time, and describing it to others online since 1996 or so at Phiala’s String Page.

I also do some science and write some fiction.

I’m Phiala most places on the internet.
