The last of the tulips

I

Well, I took this one a several years ago and forgot to publish the post - those striped tulips were fantastic along side the dark ones. I really love the shapes and colours this time of year. By Spring I have usually forgotten exactly which varieties I put in which tubs so it is always a revelation when they bloom. I keep the packets so I can recognise them - if they are lovely I might get the same ones again or give some to friends for Christmas presents - all planted up in tubs. I find this is a very acceptable present because you get the beauty of it in Spring not when you are ovewhelmed with stuff in December.
