Yes - most of the species tulips are red/orange/yellow, but there are deep pinky/rose/violet ones too. I have one short one which has a dark throat, so it would work well if you have pinky, pastel colours or similar. I'll try and get the name, but if you look on Peter Nyssen's site - you'll find them
Little Beauty and Persian Pearl are the two I have Obs.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Good morning all sorry I have been AWAL. It's only two years six months and before you ask no I was not in prison
Just life work and all of that stuff that seems to get in the way.
Now I'm fully retired (August) and beginning to slow down to a more relaxed life.
Hope to spend a lot more time in the garden. And of course here
Hurrah!!! Join the club Don't count your chickens re the 'relaxed life ' .... I hope you've not told friends and family that you've stopped going to work ... they seem to think it's their responsibility to stop you from getting bored
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
@Dovefromabove Family are all two hours or more away so not much of a problem there (I hope)
As for friends most feel the same as me just happy to relax in a laid back fashion a lazy coffee, long pub lunch, afternoon tea, with just an odd bit of gardening thrown in for good measure and always polite conversation, that's just day time.
The evenings we can get really wild and let our hair down (if we have any), Dinner in a good restaurant, maybe the opera or a good show. really wild stuff blush:
If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.
Well done Diane. Must feel satisfied after all that effort.
Happy Obxx here after harvesting my first sweet potatoes grown from one of three that started sprouting in the pantry last spring. Not a bad haul despite the drought. Golf ball for size comparison and it looks like they just need scrubbing, not peeling when this fresh.
Roasties for dinner.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Good stuff Obelixx Of course, within an hour of heading off with daughter to the cemetery, and going for her drive, the rain went off, but it's been cold and windy, so I doubt I'd have got much more done outside anyway. It's been single figures since 5 ish, and not much higher at best. I managed a few things while dodging in and out of the rain before we went. It's not a good idea using the drill when it's wet... I've set up the wildlife camera, so hopefully it'll work. Bet you're glad that's done Diana. One of those jobs that takes forever, but it looks like you've done nothing! I seem to have had quite a few of those recently too. Enjoy being retired G'sBoy. Don't be out raving and getting into bother now...I know what these pensioners on here are like. Tearaways and scoundrels, the lot of 'em...

Beechgrove was lovely. I'm a sucker for a big tree, so the visit to Dawyck was right up my street. (As was CB planting bulbs...
Thanks everyone for the congrats. I slept well last night... and woke with the music going round my head. It'll be there for a while, I think.
