Last year about this time we hired a landscaper to come in and push the dirt around in our backyard. The surface needed to be smoothed down, top soil added and then a layer of sod put down. We built a long flower bed on the back side of the yard with bushes and trees planted alone the new fence.
We could not believe it when we looked out the other day and saw this tulip in the center of the yard. The elderly lady who lived here most of her life planted a row of them along the section of chain-link fence that protected her dog. We had the fence removed since it sliced the yard in half, and we had no poodle.
I dug up all the bulbs and replanted them in the new flower beds. Somehow this one got overlooked. It was not going to remain behind. It pooked its head out when the ground got warm enought, and here it is in all of its splender saying, "Yeah....I made it!" (The grass got mowed as soon as the camera clicked!)
