This is a cute little garden
vignette where it is obvious
how well miscellaneous tulips
and miniature daffodils
work together. N. macleayi
looks like it is smiling at the
perky little tulip, T. ‘Lady
Jane’. The added blue color
of Muscari ‘Blue Magic’
gives that extra splash,
just like the perfect scarf or
brooch would to a wonderful,
fashionable suit!
