Tulips

[Tig]

For the first time I have made a note of where I have planted named varieties this year, so I hope to at least be able to name a few varieties later on.

I was looking for one that Chuckles named last year and can't find it - so thought a dedicated thread would be good as a reference tool

Here are my first two of this year. Both oldies, neither of which I have a clue about





Look forward to seeing everyone elses

This one is Scarlet Baby

[Missredhead]

mine are nowhere near the flower stage yet.

[Ladygardener]

Those are just lovely Tig and OB. As we've all so many to come it's good that you've started this thread. Mine have been in bud for quite a while and are starting to get a bit of colour. :)I'll try to get out for a pic later.

[Barbara]

I don't know the names but these are my tulips, I love the striped leaves on the pink/red ones.

[Ladygardener]

The striped leaves are indeed lovely, those are all beautiful Barbara, are they dwarf?

[Ladygardener]

:)These are just starting to bloom in their pots on the windowledge. Just B&Q value pack.

[Jasmine]

Oh, that first one looks like raspberry ripple icecream LG - they are all beautiful.

Didn't know where to put these so hope you don't me adding them to your thread Tig. I don't know the names of any of these tulips (they were a Mother's Day present) but I think the colours are just lovely together. I am going to plant up a pot like this in the autumn.

[Tig]

They are tulips so they fit perfick on here Jas

Lovely colourful prezzie for Mothers day, I got carnations and chrysanths ..

I reckon a couple of my borders with have a somewhat 'rainbow' effect of tulips - I had a couple of bags of mixed coloured ones ;D

x Tig

[Jasmine]

But those rainbow colours often work really well together - who'd have thought to put purple, red and rhubarb and custard colour together!

[Tig]

Mother Nature - she seems to just bung colour wherever takes her fancy - and a wonderful job she does tooo

What a lovely collection of tulips Jasmine and how nice that they were given to you on Mother's Day!

[Jasmine]

Thank you Roan.
I also love tulips for the way they just do their own thing. However neatly they are put in water each flower just moves off in its own direction!

[farmersboy]

What beautiful Tulips,Tig, and Jas,your boys did you proud,what a lovely display,they must love their mum i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/smiley.gif

[Ladygardener]

Jasmine those are just lovely, what thoughtful boys you have. :smile:Those colours all work so well together.
All my tulips are in pots and I've planted up a big tub of tulips mixed colours and can't wait to see them open.

[Rosefriend]

I am far behind you lot - but what beauties you have all had,and are having.

RF

[Ladygardener]

took these today, I thought it would be nice to see them before the wind has destroyed them all. All that planting last autumn was so worthwhile.

[Tig]

LG you really have some beauts there!

My tall ones are starting to open now .. here is the bottom middle bed ..



And these are opening in the bottom right bed ...



I do have the names of them - somewhere

x Tig

[Ladygardener]

Thanks Tig, so do you, is'nt it lovely when they all start to open. That bottom peachy coloured one is lovely. I must try to get some pics tomorrow now that mine all have colour.

[Jasmine]

Where's your little labels Tig? ;D Love the peachy coloured one the same as LG - mine are really small still - going to check for buds tomorrow.

[Tig]

I can amaze you with my knowledge here ladies ;D

The peachy one is called 'Quebec'

Just wait until some of the others flower, I have a long list ....

[Jasmine]

Very impressive Tig! i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/cheesy.gif

[Rosefriend]

My tulips are only just starting - these were new last year...dwarf wild tulip - Bright Gem.

A real eye catcher and gorgeous in the sun.



RF

[Tig]

Wow they are bright RF! Your very own sunshine

Mine are all at different stages of development, depending where they are in the garden and when I planted them out I reckon.

Those are bright and lovely Rf, it must be warm there today for them all to open out like that. I love the colour of them.

[Ladygardener]

These are some of the dwarf tulips which have come out now that the sunshine has made an apperance. 15 for £4.99 in B&Q if I remember rightly. I hope you like them.
