Not sure how long I will be able to grow them if the winters get any milder and wetter. They really like some cold. But since I don’t expect them to come back they are just like annual plants.
No. I can’t be doing with all the faff of digging up bulbs, I grow most of the tulips in pots and tend to remove the bulbs after flowering. The larger ones I might plant again, but small bulblets get composted.
Rain, Rain? How very dare you!!!! We need rain up here believe it or not.
Yes, you do seem to have been a lot drier ‘oop north!
So lovely to see, Jude. 😍
Followed by sunshine, which is far better to see!
Raindrops on tulips are most lovely, Jude!
Beautiful, beautiful.
So, so pretty.
I’m so envious. Cannot grow tulips here.
You can share mine!
Gratefully!

Do you lift the bulbs and refrigerate? Some people in warmer climates advocate this method
