    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous Andy and Bob ?????

    Thank you Runny, the ones I have from last year are slowly coming through (they are in the ground) so maybe colder? But the heads def look smaller and ones in back garden not opening at all yet.

    in what way are yours disappointing? Smaller blooms? Less blooms?

    Sorry BM.   Just come back on here to have a look. 

    Mine are disappointing in that most are just floppy leaves, some haven't appeared at all and the ones that have the heads are a lot smaller.  My Parrot ones haven't appeared at all.      As I said I'm going to buy, plant and dump.  Buy fresh every Autumn.  Well worth it for a gorgeous display don't you think ?  

    See original post

     Such a shame Runny image they were lovely last year x yes I think it's well worth buying new ones every autumn, they don't have to be exspensive image

    Oh Catherine I am sorry I read your post wrong and thought you said throwing not growing image

    I think I have the same little species ones Bob  - Persian Pearl?  I'm waiting for the other pinky one I bought (Little Beauty ) to appear. All new arrivals and in the new bed image

    I've put all my pix on the Garden Gallery thread, but here's a couple - from that new bed

    Hi never posted on forum before but I am quite proud of my tulip collection this year. Part of my new naturalistic garden - dug up terrible front 'lawn' and replaced last year. Some tulips were moved from a raised bed where they merrily flowered every year and others have been added. They make me smile every day on my way to work trying to post pic! ?⚘?
