Tulips

[HeyWayne]

Anyone else's bloomed yet?



Can't remember what these ones are called, but was amazed to see them on Saturday afternoon.

How beautiful, HW - and the garden behind makes a great backdrop to the flowers.
My red ones are over -(early species tulips). My black tulips are still green in bud - but they come later anyway.

I entered some white ones (bit like yours) into the Spring Show on Saturday. In the morning they were tight buds, but by the afternoon they were fully open! Little crackers!!

Cheers Jeanie.

Couple more for ya:

I love these daffs - and thankfully they haven't been munched by slugs like the ones at the front of the house.



...and I know they aren't to everyone's taste, but as a splash of colour this time of year, and against the daffs I do love the Grape Hyacinth (I think).



Won't be long before the garden's full of colour again!!!

Perfick, HW!

Lovely!! (and I'm a huge fan of Muscari - I think they're grape!!)

So they are!

I have much to learn.

Is there a Tulip with 'Ice Cream', or something ice cream related in the name...?

Seems to ring a bell.

[HeyWayne]

Actually, thinking about it - "Ice Cream" could sound like "Spring Green".......

Our dwarf tulips have bloomed and are dying back. The normal size ones haven't opened yet though. We have grape hyacinths everywhere, the bright blue does look good against the yellow daffs though.

My red ones are in full bloom. Really cheerful!

[northepaul]

I have dwarf red ones and larger red ones - the dwarfs are all in full bloom, the larger ones are nearly. My Rhododandrun is about to flower too!!

[elsie-scot]

ooh love tulips, that is a pretty one, ours aren't flowering yet. Discovered at the weekend we have Grape hyacinths in the front garden , I like them too.

Even tho the winter has been so crap, our bulbs are doing just fine, the tulips in pots on the terrace (reds/orange/yellows) look just great and the daffs/narcissus in pots and those we've got colonising in grass are looking fine and dandy also.

Every other year we tip out the pots, replant them with new bulbs and all the olds go into the ground so we get the large drifts, especially in the back garden in the woods, the daffs are starting to look good back there now.
