After a period of rain, there came the sun and with it the flowers.
It is almost a pity that fruit trees blooms don't last much longer than a week, but that one week is the prettiest one of the year.
Last summer I read the book ' The black tulip' by Alexander Dumas, so naturally as soon as the book was done I searched for black tulips. My favourite garden mail order company was offering a variety called ' Black hero', I ordered some bulbs, planted them in the autumn and waited 6 months before they began to grown.
The black hero is an impressive tulip, but it's dark mauve, not black.
