can a fiery maple and pure white tulips actually be bffs?

Last spring, I took a wild chance and planted a tiny red Japanese maple right next to a patch of white tulips. I had no clue if they’d get along, but I figured, why not? Turns out, the combo is a total vibe. The maple’s deep red leaves make the tulips pop like little stars. Here’s the trick: I made sure the tulips got enough sun before the maple leaves filled out. By the time the tree started shading them, the tulips were already showing off. Plus, the fallen maple leaves keep the soil cool and moist for the bulbs. It’s like they’re helping each other out. Watching them thrive together makes me smile every morning. Sometimes, mixing things up in the garden is the best way to learn what works. #gardeningtips #springblooms #mapletree #tuliplove #Gardening
