A basic question – what is a tulip good for? I visited a tulip field nearby; it is neither as beautiful nor as fragrant as rose.

I agree bsrsharma. Avid gardener here and big fan of roses. I also don’t see the big deal with tulips. Even bearded Iris is much more interesting and easy to grow. Roses look great in a desert type, xeriscape setting. Try that with a tulip it will look like a fake plant. I could see them being interesting in a highly ornamental garden. Somebody else’s.

400 years from now there will be a website that will be discussing the Housing Mania at the turn of the 21st century…..
One guy will be saying ” I agree, but I don’t like that box style, it might look great in a desert setting, try that other one with a Hummer in front… Oh Gawd, it looks terrible, doesn’t it. What did they ever see in those things AND the prices that they were paying!! Wasn’t that NUTS ?”
