John Richmond Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 #1 is the botanical tulip, Tulipa saxatilis (Bakeri Group) 'Lilac Wonder' #2 is Pieris formosa var. forrestii - probably a named variety but I couldn't tell you which as there are quite a few and I'm not sure which would be grown in your location..

Thanks very much, John. I thought the flowers might be some kind of tulip but wasn't sure. Shall do some research on the second one now that I have a place to start. Just about anything will grow in Vancouver, it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
