March 2022 in The potting shed

I uploaded the attached photo to an online plant finder and got the answer as a Water-Lily Tulip. Allthe photo the programme came back were almost identical.

When I put Water-Lily Tulip into Google to buy, the results are nothing like the photo.

The single plant I have has come up in the middle of a tub of Daffodils that were planted as bulbs bought from a local garden centre.

There are a type of tulips called Water lily flowered tulips known as Tulipa kaufmanniana.
I think you got one of those bulbs in with the daffs you bought.
There are loads of different types of Tulipa kaufmanniana, but worth a Google-

You're not on your own with that earworm. It used to be Dr Hook then someone pointed me in the direction of Marianne Faithfull
