    Love all the tulips and the Orange Emporer are specially nice. 

    Mine haven't opened yet! 



    The pot with the purple ones (which I think are Slawa)In was meant to be a layered pot with daffs in but they didn’t  appear. 


  • Isn’t it strange how some tulips have already finished flowering (I disposed of a few pots last weekend), and some haven’t even started yet. Looks like with a little bit of planning tulip season can stratch from February well into May.

    What fabulous tulips...and what variety! 

    May at I share my faves this year...? The most gorgeously delicately coloured Salmon van Eijk. Really tall robust stems, and the most exquisite colour... long lasting, too. A real winner all round imo! 

    PS Just seen @Maran has posted some Mystic van Eijk... not dissimilar, I guess...

    The two days of sun have brought on my mini double little red riding hood, bought for the beautiful striped leaves.

    These are not quite as green as spring green @Marlorena but are a nice creamy green, go really nicely with pure white daffs and dotted around all the new emerging foliage

    those dusky pinks are lovely @Janie B, they’re going on the wish list

    @Jellyfire... those are gorgeous... get back to us with the name sometime if you can... I should like some..

    Orange Angelique - very lovely too...  I didn't know they came in that colour... my Orange Emperors seem to be just finishing today...

    Annoyingly I cant rememeber @Marlorena, but i have a feeling it was Purissima, I got them as they were on a list of reasonably reliable perennials. This is the second year and most if not all all seem to have come back strongly

    aah.. you may be right.. that name rings a bell for me... thank you...

    'Pink Parrot' - what a knockout colour! Not to everybody's taste I know, but they seem to be coming up every year.

    'Ballerina' orange lily tulip with purple 'Queen of the Night'?

     Sorry, folks, the photos are not where they should be!
