Head Gardener and 30-year Oak Bay resident Bob Fleming stepped outside to photograph the 15-odd impromptu photographers lining the road the morning of June 14, flipping the lens so often directed at his own property on those admirers. With summer here, Fleming cut back his tulips to make way for shades of sunset B次元官网网址� a new exhibition drawing a second wave of attention this year.
B次元官网网址淲e appreciate all the comments,B次元官网网址� said Fleming about the visitors to his and Jan ByrumB次元官网网址檚 property. In the winter, he and his wife plant upwards of 8,500 tulip bulbs, which burst to life in springtime. When cut time comes, the couple trades out the tulips for a variety of bold flowers, including impatiens and petunias.
As if their ambitious gardening here in Oak Bay wasnB次元官网网址檛 enough, Fleming and Byrum are snowbirds. They spend their winters in the United States and maintain another property there. That might be too much for most, but for Fleming and Byrum, the hours and dirt are worth it.
