Tulips Anyone

Its only 8 months to Christmas and not one Tulip yet !!!!! Flower heads are imminent , but not a flower yet . Any one having any luck ?

 

Christmas Harry! That's a dirty word right now, let's have some summer first!

No luck with my tulips, possibly because I haven't got any, but my daffs are in full bloom still.

 

Yes my tulips are out , not opened yet , but just about ....will post some pictures .

those are from last year

 

Those Tulips are stunning Sal , do you know the name ? Some of mine are showing today , a kind of orangey flush like a tequila sunrise gorgeous

 

Harry , I only grow parrot tulips ......not a great fun of the normal variety .

 

The colours of the one in the third picture are amazing Sal!

 

many times you get odds colors , that way I love them

 

They are absolutely stunning Sal,

Well my Tulips have really kicked in this weekend Feels like spring now with the daffs and tulips now in bloom . We even sat out in the garden until 7 o clock last night - we were frozen by that time though !

 

I last showed this pot with sticks in bare soil to deter "visitors" back in January I think. Well, it worked and here's the contents today. The tulips were a freebie from one of the Seed catalogues last Autumn,

That has worked well Jenny One planting to copy this November . I presume the daffs are tete a tete size ?

 

Indeed they are Tete a tete Harry. I think a degree of luck in the timing, as the daffs have been out for 4 weeks.
