Cemetery as Arboretum

I recently went here:

 Home of one of California's founding fathers:

They have a rose collection of heritage/heirloom varieties clipped from 100+year-old cemeteries from across the state. But this post is about the spring bulbs...

Fresia, they smell sweet like fruitloops!

Fluffy 

Because they are double flowers, twice the petals 

Then the tulips, so many cool varieties 

This is likely the result of a virus, the tulip mosaic virus, which causes this mottled and gorgeous color

My favorite

 

Then the irises

 

 

My favorite

Some other stuff

 

I always love the native ceanothus, which blooms in late winter through early summer with bright blue/purple flower clusters that smell like honey 

 There are so many flowers the petals coat the ground under the trees (they often are grown as bushes for landscaping)

I even found  a rare white one 

It was recently easter, so I made some eggs for my nephew
