What's in a Name?

Funny how things change. When I first started gardening, I knew the name of everything I planted. In fact, I turned plants away because they were unknown. Mostly because early experiments with 'unknowns' had gone horribly wrong and were not easy to correct!

Now, names don't matter. Last year, my sister was building a deck which meant removing a garden. I went and dug what she described as red-orange-yellow mixed tulips. I am so glad I did because look what showed up! I love this nameless tulip.
