I continue to marvel at how the Dutch played with modifying these bulbs (through pollination I guess) in order to come up with so many beautiful varieties, and in the 16 century no less.
Hi John - stunning selection you've given us ... and don't they stand brightly tall once the right weather comes along ... love seeing them - cheers Hilary
Such amazing variety! I have little luck with them here but I do love them. I remember my mother's gardens, full of tulips in April and May. I think our wild temperature variations do not make them happy.
Thanks for taking the time to comment. I'll try to answer any questions via a comment or e-mail within the next day or two (no hard questions, please!).
These are a feast for the eyes!

ReplyDeleteA beautiful flower though I do not seem to grow many preferring Daffodils
ReplyDeleteSo many different types of tulips, can you imagine if you had one of each in a bunch, what a fabulous bunch that would be 🎊
